YMCA 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 Ys. It is staffed by about 350 employees.

Because all communities have different needs, all Ys 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 Y mission. All other decisions are local choices, including programs offered, staffing and style of operation.

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