What is the relationship between the YMCA of the USA and the YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard?
The YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard is an independent YMCA. It is self-supporting and raises money locally for construction and for ongoing operating costs. The National YMCA lends tremendous technical support and guidance regarding programs, facility construction and operations. The Y of the USA also provides a dedicated individual that works with us on all aspects of operations, staffing and best practices. In addition the YMCA of the USA has linked us with other Y facilities for on-going support and mentoring.
