The largest endeavor in the 100-year history of YMCA Alumni is in its second year on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota

YMCA Alumni partners with the YMCA of the Seven Council Fires for major project

YMCA Alumni members have raised more than $600,000 and 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 begin building a YMCA Tiny Home Village of four homes.on the property adjacent to 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.
