The Gra-Y Club is part of the 'four fronts' program developed by the YMCA which grew out of the Hi-Y Club created to promote Christian character in high school boys through emphasis in speech skills, sportsmanship and scholastic achievement. The 'four fronts' program included the Hi-Y Club for high school boys, Jr. Hi-Y Club for middle school children, Tri Hi-Y Club for girls, and the Gra-Y Club for grade school children.
