Mission Impact Opportunities

The YMCA is a community organization that brings people together and impact an individuals whole body - spirit, mind and body. In order to do this, we need help from volunteers.

The Bible tells us that like a body, we each have been given by our Creator special talents - or gifts. The YMCA is a wonderful place to share your gifts with others.

Our YMCA's goal is to have a schedule filled with art/drama and language classes, support groups, Bible studies, book clubs, mom and dad programs and other ideas that will make our community stronger.

Do you have an idea or a gift to share with others? Please submit it here by leaving a comment. Please leave a way we can contact you to discuss putting your gift into action.

We currently need volunteers for the following activities:
Under Water Easter Egg Hunt - Saturday, April 11th from 8:30AM until 11:00AM
Healthy Kid's Day - Saturday, April 18th from 9AM until Noon
Summer Camp - Arts and Crafts time (all Summer)
Website Development

Do you know a special YMCA member that exhibits the 4-core values of the YMCA?

Responsibility: symbolized by the color green for nature and our responsibility for the world around us and ourselves.

Honesty: blue for "true blue", the value of honor and truthfulness in our lives.

Respect: gold for the "golden rule", treating others as we ourselves wish to be treated.


If so, we want to hear about him/her. Please place your comment and tell us why you think they should win "The Best of the Y" for March/April. This special person will win a free YMCA t-shirt (compliments of Tee), oil change (compliments of Castlemens), 2 movie tickets (compliments of Princess Movie Theater) and dinner for 2 at a local restaurant.
