"That they may all be one even as thou, Father, art in me and I in Thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that Thou didst send me."
-Leo Buscaglia |
The YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) celebrated its 150-year anniversary in 2001. Our Mattoon YMCA opened its doors in February 1988 after being chartered in 1982. The YMCA has a rich heritage, a Christian mission, and a tradition of values. The links at left will take you on a tour of our organization. If you have any questions feel free to contact us.

Thirty-five years later, the first YMCA was founded in Mattoon as a railroad YMCA. Over the years, the Mattoon YMCA operated from numerous homes but closed during the Great Depression in 1932. When the Mattoon YMCA became a United Way agency in 1984 and opened the doors of its present building in 1988, a new era began. A variety of programs were initiated, and existing programs expanded.
