| The Vision | The Process | Updates | Download FAQs | In 1906 San Francisco’s devastating earthquake destroyed our original building on the corner of Mason and Ellis. By November of that year our YMCA had raised $500,000 towards a new building on the corner of Golden Gate and Leavenworth that would serve the Tenderloin community for the next 100 years. Now, in 2005, in keeping with our mission of providing the Tenderloin community with quality programs and services, it is with great excitement that we announce our dream of creating a brand new Shih Yu-Lang Central YMCA. Our goal is to build a new state-of-the-art Shih Yu-Lang Central YMCA that will have the space to significantly increase the capacity and quality of our programs and services while maintaining our commitment to the Tenderloin community. The sale of the building represents a large portion of the funds needed to build a new Y that will impact a major cross-section of the Tenderloin community. We will be looking to all of you for ideas, input and support. You are the Y – join us for the journey ahead.
Update April 18, 2006

Join our newsletter: SYL_Central_YMCA@ymcasf.org November 29, 2005 - Give Us Your Feedback! Attend one of our member feedback forums scheduled throughout the day on November 29th. The times are as follows: 8:00am, 12:30pm, 5:30pm and 6:45pm. Our first series of forums, launched in September, were a very useful way to get feedback and address your questions. We want to thank everyone who attended and encourage members to attend this next series. Memberships Will Be Upgraded! When we move to the interim site, your Shih Yu-Lang Central membership will provide you access to all San Francisco YMCA branches at no additional charge. This will give you the option to workout at our interim site or any other San Francisco YMCA branch. Your commitment to the Shih Yu-Lang Central YMCA is valued and appreciated. August 10, 2005 A purchase agreement was signed by A.F.Evans Development Inc. on August 9, 2005, formally beginning the process of buying the building and the two adjacent lots from the YMCA. This purchase agreement is the first step in acheiving our dream of building our new state-of-the-art YMCA in the Tenderloin. It is one of many steps in a multi-year process and will not effect any changes in the day to day operations of this YMCA. To learn more read our press release and a more in depth building update. Future Updates We know that you have many questions and we will continue to keep you updated over the next year regarding our future progress. Following are the vehicles we will use to update you:
