Young Men's Christian Association
| (YMCA), organization having as its objective the development of values and behaviors that are consistent
with Christian principles. Despite the retention of the name, membership is not limited to Christians, and since World War
II women and girls have been accepted as members. The first association was launched (1844) in London by Sir George Williams and a group of young men in business as a place to help other young working men find God through prayer and Bible study.
In 1851 the movement took root in North America. Following the lead of Montreal and Boston, a number of other cities soon
formed their own YMCAs, and in 1854 the first convention of North American associations took place in Buffalo, N.Y. A world
conference in Paris (1855), attended by delegates from eight nations, led to the formation of the World Alliance of Young
Men's Christian Associations in the same year. The organization now has branches on every continent. Originally focused on
Bible study and religious activities, the YMCA has greatly broadened its mission statement over the years. YMCAs often provide
inexpensive housing, meeting space for community groups, gymnasiums and pools, and child-care programs. YMCAs serve 30 million
people in 120 countries. |
YMCA Sulthan Bathery is adjudged the best rural unit in the entire sub region in the year 2004-05. Now the
Unit is elevated to the position of the Best Rural Unit in the South West
India Region, which comprises, generally, the State of Kerala.
