Volunteering Information

One of the best ways to help the Farmington Valley YMCA's Annual Campaign would be to volunteer your time. Without volunteers we at the YMCA would not nearly be able to reach all of our goals of meeting the needs of the kids, families, and adults who live in our area. There are multiple ways that you can volunteer:

One way would be to volunteer to be on our campaign team. In doing this you would be helping promote our campaign and educate possible donors on ways that they can donate money to our campaign or help raise money for our campaign.
 
A second way to volunteer would be to take part in our phone-a-thon. A great way to help out would be to hop on the phone for a little while and contact our previous donors who know about our program and ask them to take part in this next years campaign. Not to mention there will be snacks!

A third way would be to support our activities like our Spin-a-thon. The Spin-a-thon takes place in 2014 and you can help out by raising money for a bike and joining one of our spinning teams.

We welcome anyone and everyone to help out our annual campaign!

A Little Bit About Farmington Valley and Our Annual Campaign...

The Farmington Valley YMCA is part of the Greater Hartford YMCA. The Greater Hartford YMCA is a non-profit organization that has been a part of its region since 1852. The YMCA helps promote our four core values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. The Farmington Valley YMCA is located in Granby, CT and is the largest facility, serving over 9,000 members, in the Greater Hartford area.

Our Annual Campaign, previously known as the Strong Kids Campaign, is run every year. This campaign creates a fund that goes towards and creates scholarships for men, women, children, and families in our community. These scholarships cover everything from helping children afford camp, to supporting all of our athletic programs and swim programs, to helping a member of our community join the YMCA for a healthier lifestyle and more. The campaign's financial assistance helps support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We at the Farmington Valley YMCA raised over $70,000 last year. With a goal of over $130,000 for 2014, the Farmington Valley YMCA welcomes any volunteer and or any donation to help our campaign.
