The Gateway Region YMCA was founded on October 13,1853, at the 2nd Baptist Church by 23 young men. Since then, the Y has been one of the leading health and human service organizations in the bi-state region.

Beginning with three rented rooms in the Mercantile Library, and growing as the metropolitan area grew, the Y now delivers programs and services through 24 traditional branch locations and more than 120 program sites covering St. Louis City, seven Missouri counties, and six counties in southwest Illinois.
