ABOUT OUR LEADERSHIP
THE PEOPLE
BEHIND THE Y
The YMCA of Greater Kansas City is guided by volunteers and staff who live and work in the communities we serve. Our boards set direction and steward the resources entrusted to us, while our officers and senior leaders turn that direction into programs families use every day.
Below you will find the volunteer directors who govern the Association and the Foundation, along with the staff leaders who run our centers, programs and community work across the metro.
