About the Y
Leadership & Staff
The YMCA functions as a partnership between volunteers and staff.
Volunteers on boards and committees determine major programs,
priorities, and policies. Staff and program volunteers carry out those
programs, priorities, and policies under the leadership of the President
and CEO.
