YMCA of St. Joseph Facts

The YMCA of St. Joseph has a history of 138 years of service as a well-known human care organization in the St. Joseph area and a long-standing Partner Agency of the United Way of St. Joseph. The YMCA began organizing in 1882. The first YMCA building was built in 1887 at 7th and Felix Streets for $60,000. After 25 years at that location, another YMCA was built for a cost of $200,000 at 10th and Faraon Streets.

Historical Milestones of the YMCA of St. Joseph

• In 1924, N. S. Hillyard gave 22 acres of land near Garrettsburg, Missouri to the YMCA for a campsite for youth. Before that camp had been held at Bean Lake and Camp Brinton.
• In 1926, a South Branch, Wesley Staff Office was in place for several years.
• In 1930, the Messanie Branch was organized and located at 17th and Messanie. It operated until desegregation in 1956 and integrated with the Central YMCA.
• In 1951 and 1956 and $575,000 later, capital campaigns allowed for refurbishing and then making further updates to the location at 10th and Faraon.
• In 1978, after two capital campaigns, the downtown building opened at 315 South 6th Street. Y's Kids World began at Missouri Western State College (now University) in 1989, with 69 children enrolled for the Fall Semester. Still operating today, we are state licensed for 30 children
• In 2009, the YMCA Board approved the YMCA to begin the capital campaign process. The non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the County, City, and the YMCA was approved in September 2010 by the St. Joseph City Council. The lease agreement with the County was signed in December 2010 and the "Building Dreams-Growing Lives" Capital Campaign was launched in January 2011. At its conclusion, that campaign accomplished over 4 million dollars.
• In 2014, the Campus Family YMCA opened at 3601 North Village Drive.
• In 2015, the Jumpin' Jungle All-Access Playground was opened by Progressive Community Services, Inc., on the St. Joseph Community Campus.
• In 2016, United Way Success by Six installed an interactive Play Path next to the playground.
• In 2017, Live With a Purpose, LLC, opened the Purpose Garden and Free Little Library at the Campus Family Y in honor of Erin Hook.
• In 2019, additional work by Y Staff, the Board of Directors and consultants explored serving the community with two facilities and a camp. A decision to reduce the number of facilities was discussed.

Currently, the YMCA is focusing on a Y's Without Walls concept, by providing families with before and after school childcare, serving 11 schools. In 2021, a partnership began with the Salvation Army to offer youth basketball.

The Campus Family YMCA facility is open to all regardless of the ability to pay. It provides use of a wellness center 24 hours a day, community-acclaimed group exercise classes and a variety of other health and wellness services. The Jumpin' Jungle Playground and United Way Play Path serve thousands of families each year.
