Building the Great Community

The YMCA of the East Bay has recently completed a twelve-month Strategic Planning process involving YMCA members, volunteers, civic leaders, and community partners.  We carefully reflected on the challenges and opportunities where the YMCA could take leadership and make the greatest contribution; we developed a five-year strategic plan called “Building the Great Community.”  Here is our contribution.
