Togetherhood®
As a part of the leading charity committed to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, you can play a role in making our community stronger. We know that members like you have lots of ideas and the desire to reach out to make positive changes in our community.
That’s why we invite you to participate in Togetherhood, a program that gives Y members the opportunity to select, plan and lead meaningful community service projects that benefit people and organizations right here in our neighborhood.
Collecting school supplies, donating blood, or running a park clean-up are just some of the countless ways Y members and their friends and families can come together in service to their community.
