The Waterville Boys Club was established on December 12th, 1924 and the YMCA in 1948. Both clubs served the needs of the Greater Waterville Area and in 1972 the Girls Club and Boys Club merged creating the Waterville Boys and Girls Club. When renovations were needed for both the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club, the late Harold Alfond proposed combining the two organizations under one roof to better serve the needs of the community with a 3 to 1 match. We completed this task in May 1999, housing both organizations and their programs in one building, the Alfond Youth Center. On hand for the dedication were Senator George J. Mitchell and Secretary of State General Colin Powell.
