There Are Numerous Opportunities At The YMCA! Despite its name, the YMCA is not just for the young, not just for men and not just for Christians. It is, however, an association of members who come together with a common understanding of and commitment to the YMCA mission and the YMCA's vision of building strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
2010 We Build People Campaign
Helping People Who Need the YMCA
Our goal is to turn no one away from YMCA programs or services due to an inability to pay. This is made possible by We Build People, the annual charitable-giving program of the YMCA of Greensboro.
The YMCA, as well as those recipients who benefit from your assistance, would like to thank you for helping to make a difference in your neighbors’ lives. Learn more about We Build People in the 2010 WBP Brochure:

ALTHOUGH THE HISTORY OF THE YMCA can be told in moments, it continues to be lived in the lifetimes of thousands each day. It began in London, England - back in 1844 - in dedication to a mission and values that have since caused YMCAs to be formed all over the world. The Greensboro YMCA will continue to grow in the same spirit today and far into the future through the dedication of our staff and the generosity of our friends.
The Heritage Society is a special group of friends who believe in the purpose and values of the YMCA. We invite you to consider becoming a member by including the YMCA Endowment Fund in your estate plan through a bequest, life insurance, trust, or outright gift. A gift to the Endowment Fund is an investment in the guiding beliefs of the YMCA.
We'll be pleased to help you create an endowment and achieve timeless recognition for yourself or a loved one. Through a deliberate and thoughtful process, YMCA professionals will work with you and/or your advisors to create a giving opportunity that speaks to you and your family's unique desires. To inquire about donating, please contact Nancy Calkins, Vice President of Financial Development, (336) 854-8413 x 107 or email nancy.calkins@ymcagreensboro.org. She will be pleased to work with you in any way you find convenient.
Give A "Bright Beginning" for the New School Year
The YMCA Bright Beginnings program helps approximately 500 children with new school clothes, supplies, and a book bag to help children in-need start the year with confidence for success. Volunteer opportunities include shopping with children, making a cash donation to support the shopping trips, and donations of basic school supplies and new book bags. Older teens may volunteer with their parent to help shop with a child. Families with children may volunteer to help stuff book bags with school supplies.
Individuals or companies that wish to collect basic school supplies or book bags are asked to deliver them by August 1 to the Y of your choice (Bryan Y, Hayes-Taylor Y both in downtown Greensboro, Spears Y on Horse Pen Creek Road in Greensboro, Ragsdale YMCA in Jamestown, Stoney Creek YMCA in Whitsett, or Reidsville YMCA). Volunteers, including families, are invited to help stuff book bags with supplies and can make arrangements with the Y of their choice. Individuals, church or employee groups, and other organizations may also volunteer to collect supplies or shop with children. An organization can request a special trip and shop as a team with a group of Y children.($3,750 serves a group of 25 kids).

If you would like to donate or become a volunteer shopping buddy, contact your YMCA branch coordinator, Heather Whitsett, for more information.
The YMCA would like to thank all our donors and volunteers who participated in the 2009 Bright Beginnings program. Without your help and support, we would not have been able to take more than 400 children shopping for school clothes and supplies. Thank you again!
Below are some photos from our 2009 Bright Beginnings Shopping Trip:
THANK YOU!
