H.Res. 1074 is a symbolic resolution celebrating the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) on its 175th anniversary, which was marked in 2026. The resolution recognizes the YMCA's historical contributions to American communities, including inventing basketball, launching the first night schools and ESL classes, and providing critical services during times of crisis like wartime and the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2026, the YMCA operates approximately 2,600 locations serving over 17 million people annually through fitness programs, childcare, youth education, and community services. The House resolution expresses appreciation for the hundreds of thousands of YMCA staff and volunteers, and encourages continued support for the organization's mission to build healthy communities and combat social isolation. This resolution contains no funding allocations or policy changes—it is purely ceremonial, serving to formally acknowledge the organization's role in American civic life.
