Houston Y history
Today, the Y engages more than 10,000 neighborhoods across the U.S. As the nation’s leading nonprofit committed to helping people and communities to learn, grow and thrive, our contributions are both far-reaching and intimate—from influencing our nation’s culture during times of profound social change to the individual support we provide an adult learning to read.
By nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving the nation’s health and well-being, and supporting and serving our neighbors, the Y ensures that everyone has the opportunity to become healthier, more confident, connected and secure.
As we celebrate our 125th year of serving people here in the greater Houston area, we are developing a time line of our rich history, and a snapshot of our many successes over the last 125 years on behalf of the individuals and communities we are privileged to serve.
