Palo Alto Family YMCA

Join us to help raise funds for the community! For more than 150 years, the YMCA of Silicon Valley has been a place where our community comes together. It's where kids find safe places to learn and grow, families find support, and older adults find connection and belonging.  Every day, people across our community say, "Count me in," helping ensure everyone has access to life-changing programs, caring relationships, and opportunities to thrive - regardless of their circumstances. As a volunteer campaigner, you will be helping ensure enough funds are raised for community members to access fully subsidized programming and financial assistance. If you are interested in volunteering as a campaigner, please see the expected commitments below. If you cannot make these dates but are still interested in volunteering, please contact Laura. VOLUNTEER TRAINING - Attend one of the following training dates. If you cannot make one of these dates, you will get to choose an alternate time for a one-on-one or small-group training.
