Gilbert Beaver began his work for the YMCA in 1890 as the student
secretary of the Pennsylvania state committee. In 1895, he moved to the student
division of the International Committee to carry on John Mott's duties while
Mott made his first world tour. In 1901 Beaver moved on to the New York City
association as intercollegiate branch secretary. In 1909 he went back on the
staff of the International Committee to work with student associations. He also
worked as executive for the Committee of Friendly Relations among College
Students.
Beaver was also active outside of the YMCA. During the 1920s he headed
the Council of the Fellowship of Reconciliation. Later he served as associate
secretary for the College Board of the Presbyterian Church and as justice of
the peace in Yorktown Heights, New York.
