Shenango Valley YMCA Intent to Merge

August 1, 2022

Dear Valued YMCA Members:

Over the past several months, the YMCA of Franklin & Grove City (YFGC) and the Shenango Valley YMCA (SVY) have been working together to better position our YMCAs for the future. As of August 1, our YMCAs came together under a management agreement and the YFGC assumed management of the SVY with the intent of a merger. The merger will result in the SVY becoming a branch of the YFGC. During the next few months you will see some new faces, facility upgrades and operational changes, so we can thrive better together. We are committed to continuing to provide services and programs at the SVY and appreciate your continued support of the Y during this time. Be assured that our Ys will continue to strengthen the foundation of our communities.

We are working diligently to answer the many questions through this time of transition. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Pursuing our Mission Together,

Adam Cook Chief Executive Officer YMCA of Franklin & Grove City
David A. Poland Chief Volunteer Officer YMCA of Franklin & Grove City
