To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
History of Organization
For over 100 years, the YMCA of Indiana County has been a vital part of community life in Indiana. The concept of a center for community activity began when a group of Indiana residents met at the old courthouse in downtown Indiana to discuss building a YMCA. The official incorporation was approved in 1911 and a fund raising campaign was launched to pay for the construction of a new building. Within a year, the funds were raised, land in downtown Indiana was purchased, and construction began. The YMCA was completed in 1912 and formally dedicated in November 1913. Since opening the doors of its first building in 1913, the YMCA has put Christian principles into practice through programs, facilities, and services that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The Y builds strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. The YMCA of Indiana County received its National Charter in 1971 and, in that same year, completed a campaign to construct a permanent facility at its current site on 14 acres of land in White Township. The current YMCA of Indiana County site was opened in 1973 with a swimming pool and locker rooms. Since its opening, the site has been renovated and expanded a number of times to include a recreation center, large wellness center, exercise studio, cycling studio, gymnasium, tumbling room, childwatch, conference room, Miracle Field, 4 ball fields, 2 sand volleyball courts, a half mile walking track and 3 picnic pavilions. In 1996 the YMCA started providing daily operational leadership to Mack Park Swimming Pool. In 2013 the YMCA set up a DBA for the Miracle League of Indiana County and in 2015 had our first Miracle League of Indiana County baseball game. This program provides people with different special needs an opportunity to play baseball. In 2018 the YMCA set up a DBA for the Positive Coaching Coalition of Indiana County (PCCIC). The purpose of this program is to help the coaches of young people in our community become more intentional leaders of our youth. With a coal of teaching our children to be winners on the field and winners in life, this double goal approach follows a program set up by the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA).
