  Provide leadership, vision and strategic direction to a committed Board of Directors and talented teams of one of the regions largest charitable non-profit organizations. Ensure the immediate and long term needs of our community are met through safe, highly effective and affordable programs and services for all ages, genders, cultures, abilities and incomes. We engage individuals, members, alumni, corporations, foundations and institutions in supporting our YMCA work through philanthropy and volunteerism. With earned and contributed revenue in excess of $8 mm annually, and programmatic and capital fundraising our 145 year old organization continues to serve. We provide more than 12,000 members and participants services based out of a historic 85,000 square foot facility campus highlighted by a pre-school, two pools, racquetball/squash court, full fitness center services, gymnasium with indoor track, teen center, music and creative arts studio, outdoor synthetic track and multi-purpose artificial turf field. We will be opening a second facility in the fall of 2022 to serve more community members. The West Suburban YMCA offers two pristine off-site camping experiences. A 52 acre lake front traditional residential camp for boys and girls in East Brookfield, MA and a 22 acre day camp in Wayland, MA. Each camp allows us to provide a classic camp experience while helping youth build character and thrive at their own pace. The West Suburban YMCA is the catalyst that brings together local residents, members, public and private leaders and organizations who collaborate with the goal of strengthening the communities we serve. We focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
