A group of citizens in the eastern part of Lycoming County organized an effort to create recreation opportunities. Eventually, the group approached the Williamsport YMCA volunteers to see if combined efforts might lead to a future Y branch that could serve the eastern part of the county. The Y-volunteers agreed that this eastern branch was worthy of pursuing, but that the current business model would need to be changed. So, at the YMCA Annual Meeting in 2006, the River Valley Regional YMCA was established through a new set of By Laws that enabled the newly formed entity to have multiple branches with opportunities for both branch volunteers and board members. The Williamsport YMCA was now the Williamsport Branch YMCA, with the same powers and authorities as other branches.  

On October 16, 2008, after years of effort to raise the funds required, the new Eastern Lycoming Branch YMCA had a grand opening celebration and opened its doors in Muncy, Pennsylvania, becoming the third branch of the River Valley Regional YMCA.
