Great job Scott!



Organized in 2006, a number of GLBT YMCA professionals and YMCA policy volunteers set out to increase the awareness about the issues confronting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered YMCA staff and volunteer leaders in the YMCA. 

Currently the steering committee has plans to focus on the following three areas: (1) developing a support network for GLBT YMCA staff and volunteers, (2) increasing the education and awareness of the movement on GLBT issues so we can be more inclusive rather than exclusive, and (3) providing mentoring opportunities for YMCA staff who are GLBT.

For more information about the work of this group or how you might become involved, please click on the "Get Involved, Join!" link on the left of this screen. 

We're glad you're here.
