About Us

Hopkinsville YMCA

The Hopkinsville YMCA was established on February 1, 1996. During the early years, programs were developed, the Board of Directors were formed and money was raised for a facility. In May 2002, the YMCA facility was completed, which allowed us to strenghten our service to the community.

Today's YMCA

America's 2,663 YMCA's are collectively the largest not-for-profit community service organization in the United States, uniting men, women and children of all ages, races, faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. At the heart of community life across America, mission-driven YMCAs are a place to belong and to live the values that guide and unite our members: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.  From cities to suburbs to small towns, YMCAs serve America's children, families and communities by "building healthy spirit, mind and body for all." Across the country, 67.7 million households and 33.7 million children 14 and under live within three miles of a YMCA.
