in ,London in #ahdd4 ,By #ahea1 there
were branches#b in ,Australia1 ,Europe1
,India1 ,Canada1 the ,United ,States1
and other parts of the ,United ,Kingdom4
,Today1 nearly every city in the world
has one1 and its headquarters is in
,Geneva1 ,Switzerland4
  ,The purpose of early ,Y,M,C,As was
to make cheap housing available for
,Christian youths traveling into cities
from the country4 ,It went on to provide
them with healthy activities and
exercise4 ,Over the years1 the ,,YMCA
has changed to provide facilities for
men and women of all backgrounds1 not
just ,Christians1 and has also become
involved in improving the community4
,For example1 they often supply
volunteers during times of hardship and
assist those affected by war4 ,They have
also set up programs to help educate
