Kosciusko Community YMCA

The Kosciusko Community YMCA was founded in 1962 in response to community need based on a survey conducted by the local Jaycees. To make the community a better place to live, work and play, many community individuals made significant contributions to the first capital campaign. They knew that support of the Y meant stronger and better character, bodies, minds and citizens for the years ahead. The original facility was dedicated on October 10, 1965. In 1984, the Kosciusko Community YMCA Board of Directors determined that if the Y was to continue serving our community, a major building and renovation expansion project must take place. On January 7, 1985, the Y began a major fund drive to raise $1,500,000. The drive, to be known as Discover Excellence Y 85, involved over 150 volunteers. Through the efforts of these volunteers the Y received over 500 pledges, totaling $1,480,000. The new addition, at the Smith Street location, of a gymnasium, indoor running track, fitness center, offices, locker rooms and renovated pool was dedicated on May 9, 1987 enabling the Y to impact the community in even greater ways.
