YMCA of the Seven Council Fires

The largest endeavor in the 100-year history of YMCA Alumni continues on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.

YMCA Alumni partners with the YMCA of the Seven Council Fires for National Service Project


YMCA Alumni members have raised nearly $1,000,000 and several hundreds of volunteers traveled to Dupree, S.D., home of the YMCA of the Seven Council Fires to ready the land, build the foundations and continue building a YMCA Tiny Home Village of four homes on the property of the Y's small headquarters. The goal is to help alleviate some of the housing deficit on the reservation.

The volunteers, in addition, plan to build at least two "twigs" -- small Y branches in outlying communities on the vast reservation.
