I'll Miss The Y So Much!

by A YMCA Volunteer |  May 9, 2018

"My experience with the Y has been one that I did not expect to feel so self-rewarding.

Volunteering has always been something that I enjoyed doing but focusing on the after-school program I really got to learn and experience new things.

The Y does so much for these kids with the after-school program and more. The kids are given lessons every day that contain some sort of activity and they can make a connection to their own lives so they can really understand. They are given healthy foods to try out for "mission nutrition" and learn all about why those foods are so good for you. The kids are provided extra guidance and support that they might need, whether that be through homework help or someone to talk to.

It has been a pleasure learning and growing with these kids and the Y, I will truly miss it!"
