We Give Thanks to Our Volunteers

The YMCA of Greater Nashua is celebrating our appreciation of our volunteers during National Volunteer Week, April 17 – 21.

Without volunteers, the Y wouldn’t be the same; they’re the heart and soul of our organization and without their hard work, dedication and selflessness we couldn’t do the work we do every day to help kids, families and communities thrive. Our volunteer program brings people together from all walks of life around a shared purpose to do good. The Y is creating a stronger, more cohesive community.

These opportunities also help volunteers enhance their personal well-being and develop meaningful relationships – all while making an impact in communities they care about.

At our Y, program volunteers help with special events like family nights, Kids Stop helpers, as tutors, sports assistants, group exercise instructors, coaches and assistant coaches, and Welcome Center ambassadors.  Many more opportunities exist for others to help make a difference. Current volunteer opportunities are listed here: www.nmymca.org/volunteer

The YMCA also has the support of policy volunteers who provide governance, policy direction and fundraising support for our Association. The visionary leadership of these volunteers helps our entire YMCA Association provide extraordinary experiences for individuals and families throughout our Southern New Hampshire region.

TogetherhoodThis Spring, the Y is re-lauching Togetherhood our member-led volunteer service program. Togetherhood is run by a committee, made up of YMCA members and community leaders working as volunteers, with the support and guidance of a YMCA staff advisor.  Our Togetherhood committee will plan and execute service projects that strengthen our community while enabling volunteers to form meaningful connections with people from diverse backgrounds. Projects are done outside of our YMCA walls. Our volunteers have done projects such as Mine Falls clean-up days, helping the Merrimack Public Library landscape their grounds, packing food bags with End 48 Hours of Hunger, diaper drives supporting the United Way, and volunteering at Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter organizing their large food pantry.

BRYNA KAMIN 

A volunteer is an individual who selflessly offers their time, skills, and energy to help others without expecting anything in return. Bryna Kamin is a volunteer for the YMCA of Greater Nashua who has been a crucial part of our organization since 2011. We thank Bryna for her contribution of over 1,079 hours volunteered at the YMCA of Greater Nashua. Bryna is currently a volunteer for our Senior Activities program. Our mission would not be possible without people like Bryna and all of our volunteers, and we are thankful for you all.
