Submit Your YMCA Story

Do you have a Y story?

Maybe the Y helped your child learn to swim, gave your family support when you needed it most, improved your health, or created friendships that changed your life. This June, we are inviting our community to share stories for an upcoming Y It Matters video campaign and future YMCA storytelling projects.

Everyone who submits will be entered into a drawing to win one free month of YMCA membership. To submit, simply share a short 1 to 2 minute video telling your story or submit a written story if you would prefer not to appear in photos or video. Fill out the form (Google sign in required), email cmims@gamountainsymca.org, or text (206) 426-6551. For more information, email cmims@gamountainsymca.org
