The Boston Y. M. C. An. and Community Need: A Century's Evolution, 1851-1951 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boston Y. M. C. An. And Community Need: A Century's Evolution, 1851-1951
His history of the first Young Men's Christian Association formed in the United States is a case study in one of the most highly significant topics in the history of the past century; the development of the social welfare programs of private agencies. It relates the evolution of the Boston Y to two important trends: the world-wide Association movement, as an effort to meet the needs of young people during a period of urbaniza tion and industrialization; and the growth in particular of the Boston community, with its own problems and needs. I have sought to analyze the forces which brought the to Boston, to explain the organization's changing emphases, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its service to the community.
