New Hampshire YWCA of the U.S.A. records, Record Group 11. Microfilmed headquarters files

The New Hampshire District YWCA serves the entire state of New Hampshire as the organizing association of small towns and counties that do not have the resources or support to maintain an independent association. The program is carried out in each community and in turn, these communities support a small centralized staff to act as administrators of the association. The function, purpose and structure of the district association is established in its governing documents and further explained in an employee handbook and historical summaries. Visitation reports summarize and assess the association's program and activities. The relationship between the YWCA and YMCA in New Hampshire, as in many states, is sometimes complicated and overlaps in purpose. Correspondence with national and regional staff and notes on the situation shed light onto the relationship. Additional documents include lists of leaders, miscellaneous correspondence and the report of a study of the community services of Concord, New Hampshire.
