The Y works tirelessly to nurture the potential of kids, improve people’s health and well-being, and give back and support our neighbors. We rely on the help of thousands of volunteers to make that happen. There is no other volunteer organization quite like the Y. We have volunteer opportunities, right here at the Lynch/van Otterloo Y that allow you to give back and make a real difference. Currently, we have task force committees formed to develop the Y’s strategic plan for our future. The areas of focus are Childhood Obesity, Older Adults, Teens, Children’s Island, and Financial Development.
Social Responsibility: A Greater Cause
At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Our Y has been listening and responding to our communities’ most critical needs for over 150 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being, welcoming and connecting diverse populations or advocating for healthier communities, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve. We truly have a greater cause! Our Y cares for ALL in our community. It’s the socially responsible thing to do! One out of every three people in our Y needs our financial help to access essential Y programs and services. It takes the support of our entire community to help our neighbors in need. Your gift matters to the 1,600 people in our Y who need our help. The Y’s annual campaign, Y FOR ALL, is well underway. We hope you’ll consider supporting your neighbors in need with a gift. You may make an online donation by visiting www.northshoreymca.org. Together we can build stronger, more inclusive communities, provide support for families and promote positive change.
Planned Giving
The YMCA has recently launched a new planned giving initiative. Common planned gifts include a gift made through one’s will, life insurance policy, or retirement plan. All gifts benefit our endowment, a permanent fund used to support the Y. Gifts made to the endowment today will help support future generations. All those who make a gift will be invited to join the Triangle Society, our planned giving recognition society.
If you are interested in any of these, please contact Chris Bevilacqua, Associate Executive Director, at 781-990-7002 or bevilacquac@northshoreymca.org.
