The YMCA – the Young Men’s Christian Association – that was founded 166 years ago, is no more. Henceforth, it is now just ‘The Y’.
One of the biggest and well known nonprofit organizations is rebranding to fit with a new world.
The decision comes as ‘The Y’ is more focused on helping people of both genders, especially families. The focus on helping youth has not changed.
So don’t expect many changes with the new name. The organization says the change is simply reflecting the times.
