Community Outreach
Get Involved!
Our success as a community hub depends on us being able to form partnerships and relationships with you that help to strengthen the Richmond District as a place where people feel connected and supported. Our role in the community is stronger through our relationship with you and your role in the community is stronger through your relationship with the YMCA. Here are a few of the ways that we as organizations and individuals can become more invested in each other, and thus in the community:
Publicity
The Richmond District YMCA has a comfortable community corner where we encourage our members to relax and get to know each other. In our community corner is a Current Events Board and a Local Resource Binder. If you would like to publicize your organization, business, or event, just bring a flier or business card by the Y and we will publicize it in our community corner and on our website.
Volunteer
The YMCA is always looking for volunteers to help us achieve our mission. You and your fellow employees could lead a youth workshop or help us run an aid station at the Nike Women’s Marathon. If you or someone in your organization is interested in volunteering, please see our volunteer opportunities page, or contact Evelyn Kay at ekay@ymcasf.org
Service Projects
Is there a need you see in the community that you would like the YMCA to help address? Want to do something about graffiti in the Richmond? Come and help us set up a neighborhood cleanup day. Contact Josh Leonard, Senior Director of Community Programs at jleonard@ymcasf.org to help set up and brainstorm a service project or program to address a critical neighborhood need.
These are just a few of the ways that the YMCA can partner with you or your organization. If you have any questions or suggestions for how we might be able to work together better on behalf of the community, please contact Josh Leonard, Senior Director of Community Programs at jleonard@ymcasf.org or (415)666-9604
