Working at the YMCA isn’t just a job—it’s a commitment to something bigger than myself. Every day, I see firsthand the impact we have on the community. I watch kids take their first swim lesson, gaining confidence in the water. I see teens finding positive mentors and learning leadership skills. I witness families coming together in a space where they feel safe, supported, and connected. I give to the Y because I believe in our mission. I know that my contribution helps provide scholarships for families who need financial assistance, ensures our programs remain accessible to everyone, and supports the growth of the very community I serve. Being part of the Y means being part of a movement that changes lives. And for me, giving isn’t just about donating—it’s about investing in the future of the people and the place I care about. That’s why I give. Because the Y gives so much to others.
