History of the Prescott YMCA

The YMCA has been part of the Prescott community since 1914. The current facility, the Harold James YMCA Community Center, was opened in 1998. The last major capital fundraising campaign for the construction of this facility began in 1995 and raised 5.5 million dollars.

Since opening, membership has grown to over 10,000 members. Our YMCA Community Center has exceeded all expectations outlined in the last campaign.
