At the Y, BEST SUMMER EVER! we’re dedicated to strengthening the community by giving back and supporting our neighbors. We know that our members have lots of ideas and the desire to reach out to make positive changes in our community. This program is run on an annual basis by a Service Committee, made up of Y Friendship, Accomplishment, Belonging members, working as volunteers and the support of a Y Staff Advisor.

Collecting school supplies, donating blood, or running a park clean up are just some of the countless ways Y members and their friends and families can come together in service. This program gives our Y members the opportunity to select, plan, lead and participate in meaningful volunteer service projects that benefit and strengthen our local community.
