The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) began as a refuge of Bible study and prayer for young men looking to escape life on the streets in London, England. Well over a century later, the YMCA is a thriving organization for girls, boys, women and men of all ages and backgrounds.
The YMCA has a mission to bring community together. It has a positive presence in more than 10,000 neighborhoods across the United States. Its focus includes youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
Cedarmere Elementary School is host to this particular YMCA. For more on Cedarmere Elementary, visit http://www.cedarmere.org.
