YMCA of the USA

The YMCA of the USA is the national resource office for the nation’s YMCAs. Located in Chicago, with satellite offices across the country, the YMCA of the USA exists to serve YMCAs. It is staffed by about 350 employees.

Because all communities have different needs, all YMCAs are different; they are autonomous and separate from the YMCA of the USA. They are required by the national constitution to pay annual dues, to refrain from discrimination and to support the YMCA mission. All other decisions are local choices, including programs offered, staffing and style of operation.

Each YMCA is an independent organization, autonomous and separate from the YMCA of the USA.

The mission of the Y is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that promote healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The Y prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age disability, marital or family status. The Keene Family YMCA is an equal opportunity employer.
