 The Ukrainian American Youth Association (UAYA), commonly referred to as CYM, was first started in the United States in 1949. Originally focused on political aims, CYM shifted its mission towards educating nationally-conscious Ukrainian youth about their heritage and culture. This change was driven by the influx of Ukrainian immigrants to the United States during World War II. The organization's goals expanded to include fostering active community participation and spiritual development. The Ukrainian American Youth Association (UAYA), commonly referred to as CYM, was first started in the United States in 1949.

-In 1954, CYM's primary concern was finding a suitable property for its summer camps, where members could immerse themselves in Ukrainian culture. CYM's Holovna Uprava, or board of directors, formed a Search Committee, chaired by Mykola Semanyshyn, with members Hryhorij Czebrij, Mychaijlo Furda, and Yaroslaw Humeniuk. This committee was tasked with finding a suitable location and raising the funds necessary for the purchase. After extensive searching, they identified a 140-acre property known as Fontaine Manor House, located along Route 209, near Spring Glen and Ellenville, New York. The property, with its forested landscape, small lake, and Soundberg Creek, met most of the committee's criteria. The property featured 11 buildings and was located in a location that was within driving distance from most major cities on the Northeast Coast. Thanks to the generous financial support of CYM members, the purchase of this property was secured.+In 1954, CYM's primary concern was finding a suitable property for its summer camps, where members could immerse themselves in Ukrainian culture.

 To manage the new site, named Oselia, CYM's Holovna Uprava established its first directorship under Mykola Semanyshyn, including Holovna Uprava members and representatives from East Coast Oseredky. The directorship along with many volunteers undertook extensive renovations of the neglected property including painting, cleaning, renovation and clearing of overgrown forests. They also built a tribute to Ukrainian heroes, known as Trybuna. Over the days of June 18-19, 1955, the new Oselia was opened with a ceremonial blessing and became the central location for CYM members to experience Ukrainian culture and heritage. To manage the new site, named Oselia, CYM's Holovna Uprava established its first directorship under Mykola Semanyshyn, including Holovna Uprava members and representatives from East Coast Oseredky.
