As we come up to the close of the year and the season of thankfulness, it is important to pause, reflect, and appreciate the amazing year and key players that have helped us along the way.
Here at the Santa Monica Family YMCA, we are deeply grateful for the countless volunteers who donate their time and talent to support our mission. As a non-profit, charitable organization, the YMCA thrives thanks to the dedication of individuals who offer their unique skills and passions to make a positive impact on our community.
From leading Group Exercise and Water Fitness Classes, to sharing their love for a specific craft or activity, our volunteers’ contributions enrich the lives of so many. Volunteers play a critical role in ensuring that our programs continue to support health and well-being goals, foster relationships, and nurture healthy spirits, minds, and bodies.
We also want to acknowledge the generosity of our Board members, who not only guide our vision, but also give generously of their resources to help the Santa Monica Family YMCA.
As we continue to grow, we are always in need of more volunteers. If you’re passionate about leading Group Exercise, helping with fundraising efforts, sharing your passion for art and crafts, supporting Youth Basketball (through scorekeeping or coaching), or leading camp activities at our Over-night Big Bear Camp, we invite you to join our volunteer team. For those interested in volunteering, please contact Pam Andrews at pam1@ymcasm.org.
Last, but certainly not least – a big thank you to our hard-working staff, to our members and participants for being a vibrant part of our YMCA family. Together, we continue to make a difference in our community. Thank you for helping us drive our mission forward! Stop by for a tour of our Y on 6th St. between Arizona Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd.
