YMCA of the USA

YMCA of the USA is the national nonprofit federation that supports approximately 2,597 local YMCAs and runs extensive youth development and after-school/child-care programs. It provides professional development and national-level events and news about youth development initiatives. While the national Y (ymca.org) is a leading organizer and partner in nationwide afterschool initiatives (e.g., Lights On Afterschool partnerships, youth development summits at local/regional levels), explicit branded annual "afterschool conference" pages on the national site were not found; the organization clearly runs and promotes youth development events, trainings and summits through national and local Ys.
