YMCAs

Similar to the YWCA, the YMCA is a movement operating at three levels: local, national, and world. The YMCA was founded in England in 1844 as the Young Men’s Christian Organization, with the mission of “the spiritual condition of the young men engaged in houses of business, by the formation of Bible classes, family and social prayer meetings, mutual improvement societies, or any other spiritual agency” (“Sir George Williams - Founder of the YMCA”). The movement’s mission has changed regularly since 1844 and is currently “to empower young people and communities worldwide to build a just, sustainable, equitable and inclusive world, where every person can thrive in body, mind and spirit” (“Our Mission”). The YWCA and YMCA are independent movements with different missions. However, some local YMCAs and YWCAs have merged into YM-YWCAs or YMCA-YWCAs, belonging to and offering programs from both organizations. At all three levels of both movements, YMCAs and YWCAs often maintain connections to one another and collaborate with each other.

YWCA Metro Vancouver maintains a relationship with YMCA organizations including YMCA BC and YMCA Canada. This is accomplished via YWCA Metro Vancouver’s receipt of YMCA annual reports and publications.

Records consist of annual reports, occasional reports, and publications from YMCA BC and the YMCA of Canada.
