The Gateway Region YMCA is a nonprofit organization serving kids, families, and adults in the St. Louis region through programs rooted in youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, with membership options. It operates a network of 25 traditional branches across Missouri and Illinois, along with two Campus Y facilities and sites such as Camp Lakewood and Trout Lodge in Potosi. Founded in 1853, the organization has operated as the Gateway Region YMCA since a 2015 merger between the YMCA of Greater St. Louis and the YMCA of Southwest Illinois, and it employs a workforce in the hundreds. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the Gateway Region YMCA sits within the nonprofit sector focused on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. In September 2025, the organization hosted the Miracle League All-Star Game in St. Louis, bringing together more than 100 youth with disabilities and their families from 26 states and Mexico.
