Join the Accelerator YMCA for a day of collaboration and giving back!
The Y is a nonprofit like no other. That's because in 10,000 neighborhoods across the nation, we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but deliver positive change. We are community centered, we bring people together, we nurture potential and mobilize people to affect lasting, meaningful change. In efforts to educate community members about our services, we also want to pair with another organization.
Since 1973, the Accelerator YMCA has been a catalyst sparking youth and young adults to take risks to create innovative solutions to the challenges facing our city and our world. Accelerator programs have transcended economic and cultural barriers, making life better for thousands of people in the Seattle/King County area. Last year, Accelerator served over 10,000 teens and young adults with its programs.
On Monday, January 21st, we are planning to gather at our Downtown branch location for a time of education and outreach. The goal of this event is to discuss the importance of MLK Jr.'s legacy and how we continue to effectively help those marginalized groups in our community. It will be a time for volunteers to learn more about the Accelerator YMCA and our mission.
We need volunteers to come together and gather at our Downtown location. During this time, we will have a representative(s) from the Accelerator YMCA to speak more about the work we do. We will then utilize the time to watch a relevant and important documentary. The viewing will be followed by a group discussion and debrief. Following the facilitated conversation, our volunteers will get to participate in the Seattle’s annual MLK march (which is right next to our Downtown location). They will get to hand out Y swag, snacks and water to participants in the march.
Light food and refreshments will be provided during this time for our volunteers.
Please join us for a day of education, conversation and honoring Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.
