Skaneateles YMCA & Community Center

In 2001, thanks to the efforts of the Skaneateles Recreational Charitable Trust (SRCT) and the local community, the Skaneateles Community Center opened.  The facility, owned by the SRCT, was operated by the Town of Skaneateles for ten years.  The Auburn YMCA-WEIU Board of Directors and the SRCT entered into a management agreement to operate the Skaneateles YMCA and Community Center effective August 1, 2010.  The SRCT owns the facility and is responsible for capital items; the Auburn YMCA assumes all operational responsibilities. As a branch of the Auburn YMCA-WEIU, the Skaneateles Y operates as an independent site, serving the residents of the greater Skaneateles community, with its own staff, programs, and operating budget.  The Auburn YMCA offers administrative support and program resources. Establishment of policies, fiscal oversight, and strategic planning for both the Auburn and Skaneateles branches is the responsibility of the Auburn YMCA-WEIU Board of Directors. The addition of the Skaneateles Y as a branch provides a unique value to the members of both communities.  Membership reciprocity allows Y members to use the facilities and participate in programs at either Y.
