Share Your Y Story
Building stronger and healthier communities—together
At the Y, we are deeply grateful for the generosity of our members and donors who make it possible for all families to access life-changing programs and services. Through your unique and special voice, the Y can share your story to bring people together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. If a story about the Y has meaning for you, and you’re willing to tell it, then we believe it’s worth hearing! We will feature some of these amazing stories on our website, member communications and social media channels. By utilizing the submission form linked below, you are giving permission for your story and photo to be published online or in YMCA promotional materials.
We would love to share your experience with our members and supporters to highlight how their contributions make a difference. If you’re interested in sharing your story, please complete this brief form:
You will have the opportunity to review the content of your story for edits and final approval before being shared with the Y community.
Your community is listening!
Some examples of the types of stories that inspire your neighbors and fellow members to give include:
- The positive emotional effects felt by a child in your life who was able to attend free or discounted Y summer camps and other youth programming.
- The impact that a healthy living program, such as the LIVESTRONG® cancer survivor program, has had on you or a loved one.
- The social benefits you've seen in a tween or tween who's been able to access safe and creative afterschool activities in our Youth Wing.
- The ways that access to reliable and nurturing free or discounted Child Care have lifted a burden off of yourself or a busy parent that you know.
Thank you for considering sharing your unique Y experience!
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, feel free to reach out!

The power of the Y in action
Access to the Y's free drop-in Child Care changed the lives of single father John and his two sons. We love hearing and sharing stories just like theirs—and yours!
