About the West Broad Street YMCA

In 1947 visionary leaders in Savannah, including Rev. Ralph Mark Gilbert and W.W. Law, created the West Broad Street YMCA for Black soldiers returning from WWII as these brave veterans were legally not allowed to utilize the whites only Savannah Y.

In time, the West Broad Street YMCA became the center of family and recreational activities on bustling West Broad street. In keeping with the Y mission of serving body, spirit, and mind, the West Broad Street YMCA provided athletic activities, housed Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, created opportunities for educational advancement, and served as a safe haven for many children and their families.

Today, the West Broad Street YMCA continues to draw on its rich history of service to the Savannah community. Extensive renovations are underway for the facilities, equipment upgrades are in the works, and new programs are in development.
