Monroe Family YMCA

Our Story

The Monroe Family YMCA was founded in 1954 by a dedicated group of community leaders, including Earl C. Kull and Grattan Gray. Their vision was to promote the Christian way of living and enhance the physical, mental, and spiritual welfare of individuals in the Monroe area. Over the years, the YMCA has relocated several times, with its current facility at 1111 West Elm Avenue dedicated in January 1970. The organization has a rich history of community engagement, including a significant capital campaign in 1968 and recovery efforts following devastating floods in 1982.
