What if we can improve the lives of teens in our community?  The Whatcom Family YMCA does just that…but they need your help to make it happen!

Did you know the YMCA’s downtown Bellingham facility, and some countywide locations, have FREE teen drop-in centers?  They also offer programs specifically designed to meet young people’s most pressing needs.

The Y’s FREE Youth Institute Program helps teens from low-income and diverse backgrounds gain the skills required for a brighter future.  And, their Youth & Government Program provides the tools for teens to be the leaders of not only tomorrow…but TODAY!

When you donate to the Whatcom Family YMCA, you help fulfill a vision for every teen to flourish.  100% of your donation goes to the Y’s Scholarship Fund.

One of their Youth Institute participants shared, “I have a feeling these friends and adults from the Y will be in my life for a very long time.”

To help the YMCA reach more young people and change a life today, donate HERE!  If not the Y, then who?
