Social Responsibility
Community Engagement The Y is a cause for strengthening community, committed every day to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Everyday we work side by side with our neighbors, donors, and volunteers to bring about meaningful, enduring change right in our own neighborhood.
Backyard Produce
Help feed families in need by donating your excess citrus and vegetable garden produce to The Backyard Produce Project. Drop off your produce every Monday in our lobby.
Playground Partners
Rancho Family YMCA Sports Department collaborates with local elementary schools in our service area to provide Playground Partners. Playground Partners works to assist schools in creating a safe, fun, and fair environment for students at lunch recess. Professional YMCA staff lead games, sports, and activities for all students. Contact our Sports Director to find out how to get your school involved.
