Success Stories
"I was a single mother of two, working a low wage job, without benefits. The YMCA scholarship program for childcare was an incredible resource for my family. The quality of the program, along with the core YMCA values was a phenomenal benefit to each member of my family. I continue to campaign for and donate to the program because I believe it is an essential service that continues to reach so many families and has a very positive impact on our community."
"I began volunteering with the YMCA Teen Court while I was a student at Central Washington University in Lynnwood. I enjoyed training and working with the teens who were assigned judicial roles in actual juvenile court cases. It was exciting to watch teens judge cases fairly and compassionately. I felt proud to be a part of something that was making a positive difference in the lives of the teens. It was a great experience for me to be a part of the YMCA Teen Court program."
