VOLUNTEER, DONATE, ADVOCATEAs a nonprofit, the Y is able to strengthen community because of the dedicated youth, families and individuals who share our passion and make the Y part of their lives. They give their time, resources and talents—every day and in hundreds of ways—because they know they can improve the lives of others while enhancing their own through the Y.

ADULTSHave you decided that it’s finally time to swim after all those years? Do you want to know how to swim all four strokes so that you can get a full body workout while you’re swimming?

Do you want to participate in our “Swim the English Channel” event but need to learn some new strokes so you don’t get bored? Are you training for a triathlon but nervous about the swimming leg? Has that one stroke been bothering you and you’ve finally decided it’s time to master it?

Private swim lessons give you the opportunity: • To learn at your own speed.

• To focus on what you want to learn.

Private Swim Lessons

Private swim lessons give young children the opportunity to learn:

• At their own pace.

• With no distractions.

• With flexibility: You chose the speed at which

they learn by choosing the days and times of

your lessons, as well as how often to participate.

TEENSHas your teen put off learning to swim? Are they the only child their age that isn’t comfortable in deep water? Does your teen want to be on the swim team but need a little extra practice before they try out? Is your teen trying to stay fit in the off season? Does your teen want to work out but prefers swimming over machines and weights?

Private swim lessons give teens the opportunity to learn:

• How to swim without of being in a class with

younger students.

• How to create their own workouts.

• How to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Volunteerism & Giving

BACKPACK DRIVE- IN HONOR OF NICOLE LEHTINEN August 1–22

Leaving home can mean losing everything. Many foster kids get used to parting with clothes, favorite toys, books, saying goodbye to classmates and changing schools again and again. That’s why a backpack can be special—it’s one consistent thing that can hold everything dear to you. And this was the reality for Nicole, a foster child whose life was cut short by a car accident at the age of 16. To honor Nicole and so many youth like her, we are hosting a “Backpack and School Supply Drive” for local children in need. Donate today!

FOUR STEPS TO GET STARTED 1. Pick up Volunteer or Togetherhood

brochure.

2. Research volunteer opportunities that may interest you. We have opportunities available to sign up online at http://bit.ly/VolunteerTodayYMCA

3. Fill out a volunteer interests survey online at http://bit.ly/VolunteerInterestSurvey or at the Member Services desk.

Behavior Guidelines: We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment for the children and families we serve.

In order to do so, we need everyone to follow basic behavior guidelines based on the YMCA core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. It is our desire to help children develop self-control and self-discipline. If problems arise, we use the following guidelines:• Children will be encouraged to use words to try

and solve the situation.• Children will be redirected to a new activity.• Children will be provided a quiet activity until

they gain control.• Parents will be called back to remove the child

from the program.• Physical and verbal violence or unsafe behavior

of any type will not be tolerated. If a child’s behavior is unsafe, a parent or guardian will be called immediately to pick up the child. The child may be suspended from the program.

The following guidelines will help you determine if your child(ren) should be left in the care of Kids Corner and Adventure Zone. We ask parents to keep their child are home if within the last 24 hours he/she has:• Thick yellow/green nasal discharge• Fever• Vomiting• Diarrhea• Contagious rash• Eye discharge (thick mucous or pus draining

from eye, or pink eye)• Head lice• One or more symptoms of the following

illnesses: chicken pox, impetigo, conjunctivitis, persistent cough, ringworm, scabies, strep throat, tuberculosis, mumps, rubella, hepatitis viral or meningitis.

For the safety of others, we reserve the right to turn away any child(ren) that exhibit symptoms of illness.
