Content Description

Presentation slides, project information, data, reports and other records created by Denise Berceli in her role as program specialist for the YMCA of the USA. All files are electronic/digital.

These materials, along with the files in the Sample of Resources folder, provide a picture of the YMCAs that Y-USA was consulting with and the areas on which they were focusing, including membership, member engagement, healthy living initiatives, youth development, child care, child safety, and metrics, among many other issues.
