You’re invited to celebrate 12 Days of Giving this holiday season! Here are 12 ways to help others “Find Their Y” and create a stronger, healthier community in 2025. Please consider donating to or getting involved in any of the 12 causes below. Be sure to share how you’re giving this holiday season through social media posts and tag the Treasure Valley Family YMCA!
Find Your Confidence
Each year the Y teaches hundreds of children and adults how to swim or stay safe around water. This helps them find their CONFIDENCE, teaches a lifelong skill, and introduces them to lifelong fun. The cost of swim lessons should never be a barrier to learning this essential skill. Donate today to ensure everyone in the Treasure Valley can have fun and be safe around the water.
Find Your Adventure
Summer is a time for kids to explore new things and expand the limits of their imagination. At the Treasure Valley Family YMCA, every day is a new adventure! Whether experiencing the wonder of Y Camp at Horsetheif Reservoir or having a blast with new friends at day camp, so many children and teens found their ADVENTURE with the Y this year. Help make camp accessible for all by donating to our scholarship fund.
Find Your Connection
At the Y, there are no strangers – only friends you haven’t met yet! This year, we served the active older adults in our community through classes and programs focused on improving health and mobility. We also offered brand new social activities at the Y Community Hub to help seniors find their CONNECTION with meaningful friendships. Help us continue to strengthen the social fabric of our community by donating to our senior programs.
Find Your Activity
To be our best selves, we need to take care of our whole selves. At the Y we have a wide variety of group exercise classes to help members find balance and strength in spirit, mind, and body. We also introduced YMCA360 with virtual workouts so you can take the Y with you on the move. Give others the opportunity to find their ACTIVITY and help jumpstart their journey to health by donating to our annual campaign.
Find Your Passion
Youth sports are just the start of something bigger– besides teaching healthy living principles, they also teach the value of teamwork, help fuel determination, and build character. At the Y we have basketball, soccer, volleyball, and football sports programs to help keep children active while igniting their PASSION for something greater. Help give every child the opportunity to experience youth sports by donating to our annual campaign.
Find Your Purpose
Whenever a neighbor needs support, the Y is ready to help with open arms and caring hearts. We are able to do this with the help of all our amazing volunteers. From member outreach, to event support, committee participation, and more, you can find your PURPOSE when you volunteer with the Y.
Find Your Friends
The Y is more than just a place to work out. With opportunities to connect with neighbors and join the fabric of the community, members can discover a greater sense of purpose and find their FRIENDS. The YMCA provides financial assistance to ensure all members of our community have access to our classes and programs. Help us continue to serve our neighbors and friends by donating to the Y.
Find Your Curiosity
Our childcare programming always includes activities that help inspire wonder about the world around us. Guiding children to find their CURIOSITY is key to helping them reach their full potential – donate today to help keep this programming accessible for all.
Find Your Strength
At the Y, our Evidence-Based Health Interventions create a supportive community that inspires participants to find their inner strength, while focusing on their overall health in spirit, mind, and body. Help give your neighbors the opportunity to find their STRENGTH by donating to our annual campaign.
Find Your Voice
We believe young people have the power to change the world. Our teen and young adult programs, such as Youth In Government, are designed to help young people develop the skills and confidence they need to lead positive change in the Treasure Valley and beyond. Help them find their VOICE and keep this program accessible for all by donating to the Y.
Find Your Perspective
At the Treasure Valley Family YMCA, neighbors from all backgrounds and walks of life discover common ground and broaden their perspectives. We truly are a community for all, so help us welcome all newcomers with open arms and caring hearts. Find your PERSPECTIVE and donate to ensure that the Y remains accessible to all.
Find Your Joy in Giving
Food for neighbors in need. Safe spaces for kids to learn & grow. Outreach to seniors who are feeling isolated. Find your cause and then find your JOY IN GIVING this holiday season. Consider volunteering at the Y this upcoming year or donate to the cause you feel most passionate about.
Thank you for another incredible year at the YMCA and we look forward to seeing you at a Y facility or program in 2025!
