Since its founding in 1854, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland has provided quality programs and services across an increasingly wide spectrum that encompasses fitness, education, civic service and community health and well-being.

Among the nation's oldest and most influential associations, its first building was on the north side of Public Square, a site now occupied by KeyBank.

Through the years it has played a significant role in the establishment of Cleveland's juvenile court and probation system, city playgrounds, and the Legal Aid Society.
