Case Study: YMCA achieves faster, centralized communication and stronger staff collaboration with MangoApps

How a Digital Workplace Helps Ymca Employees Better Serve Their Communities

The YMCA, a federated nonprofit with roughly 50,000 employees spread across autonomous local associations, needed a flexible digital workplace to connect staff, share resources, and centralize communications—challenges that became urgent during COVID-19. After evaluating multiple providers, YMCA selected MangoApps as the platform that could support decentralized needs while giving Ys a single place to find information, ask questions, and feel part of a national community.

MangoApps delivered a digital workplace with community groups, a Questions module, and deep analytics, enabling Y staff to share resources, get answers in minutes, and receive timely twice-daily COVID updates. The result was reduced duplicated work, stronger cross‑Y collaboration and culture, and data-driven internal communications (measuring views and engagement) that allowed YMCA to tailor content and better support its 50,000 employees—benefits made possible by MangoApps.
