BOARD & VOLUNTEER IMPACT

FIND YOUR REASON TO GIVE. FIND YOUR Y. 

Thank you for volunteering to make a difference for our Y by participating in Annual Giving! 

  • Your personal YMCA story makes our collective story stronger.
  • Your participation makes the wide scope of our work possible.
  • Your time and talents are valuable resources.
  • Your gift to the Y will have a meaningful impact right in your own community 

At the Y, strengthening the foundation of our community is our cause. We believe that lasting change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our health, our children and our neighbors. 

As part of the Y’s commitment to create access for all, we provide financial assistance, called Open Doors, to make Y membership and programs accessible to everyone. The Y provides more than $5.1 million in assistance annually to more than 38,000 people.
