One of our main priorities of the Y-2025 Strategic Plan, People are the Why, focuses on connecting Y staff, volunteers, and members with opportunities and experiences for individuals to create positive change in our community.

Community Engagement Board Members are considered Low Access Volunteers under Praesidium Standards, meaning you volunteer regularly with the Y and may interact with youth, but always under the direct supervision of Y staff. To meet accreditation requirements, all Board Members must complete Youth & Teen Safety Onboarding.
