Mission, Impact & Needs
Currently, over 7,000 people benefit annually from the Y, but our facility is at maximum capacity with a shortage of available space to serve the growing needs of our community. The YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard Capital Expansion is our opportunity to make a large-scale impact on the Island, as it will nearly double the footprint of the Y. Dukes County is one of the poorest in Massachusetts and over 50% of the hundreds of children we currently serve receive reduced and free programs. The addition of these facilities combined will have the ability to impact hundreds more youth and seniors.
