Boroughs Family Branch YMCA

Specialties

The Boroughs Family Branch began its operations in 1983 in a small branch office running all of its programs without a facility. Swim programs were run at local hotel pools and child care programs were run out of leased church space and store fronts. The Boroughs Branch, during this time to the present, has provided services and programs throughout a nine town area including: Berlin, Grafton, Hudson, Marlborough, Northborough, Shrewsbury, Southborough, Upton, and Westborough.

History

Established in 1983.

YMCA of Central MA established in 1864.

The YMCA of Central Massachusetts, a nonprofit human service organization, is committed to strengthening the foundations of community through Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility with children, teens, adults, and seniors in Central Massachusetts.

Our history runs deep and has impacted generations dating back to the 1800s. The beautiful downtown Mechanics Hall was the original landmark of the first YMCA in Worcester. In 1864, the Y used rented space on the second floor of Mechanics Hall for bible classes, religious meetings, visiting the sick and aiding the poor.

Today, the Y is one of the region’s most significant charitable institutions. The Y has demonstrated, with great consistency, a distinct ability to address ever-​changing community needs. We do not exist merely to provide quality facilities for health and wellness activities. Our four full-​service branches serve 29,000 members across 57 cities and towns.
