WHO WE ARE
AND WHAT WE DO
The YMCA is a cause-driven organization focused on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. A strong community can be achieved only when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. The YMCA of Greater Springfield has been serving our community
for 168 years in both good times and difficult times. Each year, the Y raises funds through
its annual campaign to ensure that no one is turned away due to the inability to pay in full for programs and services. The campaign is crucial
to guaranteeing that the doors at the YMCA are always open for everyone.
The YMCA provides wellness and educational opportunities for people from infancy through retirement and is the largest provider of licensed after-school programming in the area. Whether you are interested in a swim lesson for your toddler, a yoga class to relax, full-day education programs, a program to keep your teen on
the path to graduation, or remote learning centers for school-age children during COVID-19, the YMCA can help. The YMCA cause is all about building stronger communities through healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
We need a place that can make us feel whole — a place where common ground is plenty, differences are assets, and opportunity is for
all. The YMCA is that place. We have an annual giving campaign that is active throughout the year. The campaign provides support for vital services to help improve the lives of those in our community, such as summer day camps
and school vacation weeks, opportunities to learn a sport, and assistance for those dealing with cancer or diabetes. Donations can be sent to the YMCA or made through our website at www.springfieldy.org. The YMCA is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. Donations are tax- deductible to the extent allowed by law.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We have a number of volunteer opportunities available to those who are interested in giving back, including:
• Reading to youth, after-school homework help, and teen mentoring;
• Painting and landscaping projects;
• Fundraising assistance and organization activities; and
• Sitting on a committee or board.
