University Relationship The YMCA was chartered on campus in 1912, but was interrupted by World War I and was reorganized in 1924. The Campus Y has been an active student organization on campus ever since, offering a wide variety of programs to meet the needs of the students, Washington University, and the greater St. Louis community. Our home for over 60 years has been a sprawling basement space in one of Wash U’s buildings in the heart of campus. We moved to this location in 1944. The YMCA staff members serve on many committees throughout campus, developing and sustaining a positive and collaborative relationship. The Wash U Campus Y is considered part of the student services infrastructure at the University and many Wash U staff and faculty have served on our board over the years. The Y offers student leadership opportunities through community involvement programs. The Campus Y is the largest and oldest student organization on campus. We are a student institution and the school is proud we are a part of it. We moved to this location in 1944.
