The YMCA of Southwestern Indiana is a nonprofit organization based in Evansville, Indiana. It operates five branches and serves people across ages—from infants to seniors—focusing on programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body through relationships and activities. It is part of the global YMCA movement, which spans more than 130 countries and thousands of branches. The organization traces its roots to 1857 and was founded by E. H. Sabin, emphasizing inclusion across ages, races, religions, and economic backgrounds. In recent years, it has pursued collaborations with local health systems and school districts to expand childcare and educational programming, including a 2020 partnership with Ascension St Vincent and Deaconess Health System to support childcare for essential personnel. The mission centers on responding to community needs by serving all people, especially youth, while upholding core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith in Christ.
