VOLUNTEERS TRANSFORM LIVES

GSCYMCA Volunteer Spirit Awards

ABOUT

Volunteers are the heart of our organization. Their contributions enrich lives and make it possible to offer programs and services that otherwise would not exist.

Each year, Greater Somerset County YMCA hosts the Volunteer Spirit Awards to honor Y volunteers who have inspired us by giving of themselves to benefit the Y and its members. You are encouraged to nominate volunteers – either yourself or another Y volunteer – for one of the award categories listed below. Nominations open in January and are due in March.
