Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?’" At the Whatcom Family YMCA, we strive to embody this spirit of service every day by empowering individuals to make a difference in their community.

Whether you're passionate about helping children thrive, supporting families, or fostering connections among neighbors, the Y has a place for you. By volunteering your time and talents, you can join us in strengthening the foundation of our community.

At the Whatcom Family YMCA, we offer numerous ways to get involved:

• Promote Social Responsibility: Join efforts like food drives, community events, or environmental projects that bring people together for a greater good.

A Place for Everyone

"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now." These words of Dr. King remind us of the importance of unity. At the Y, we bring together people from all walks of life to build meaningful connections, embrace diversity, and create a sense of belonging.
