Lindsey’s Y Story

Meet Lindsey, a fitness instructor volunteer at Centre Branch YMCA!

“I am in my 8th year of teaching fitness classes at the Y! I started becoming more active and taking classes at the Y after losing over 150 pounds in my 20s. It's very rewarding, and it gives me the opportunity to help others get active and have fun, the way other instructors helped me when I was starting out. I love the community at Centre Branch YMCA—everyone is encouraging and helps each other out.”

Meet Moses, a dedicated volunteer at Startech.com YMCA, Community Centre, YMCA & Library.

“My name is Moses Moussa and I am a volunteer at the Adult Health and Wellness Centre with Startech.com Community Centre, YMCA & Library, entering my 4th year.  

I enjoyed helping as a volunteer, to make [people] feel comfortable when they came to Y with a smiling face and ensure they are being treated right with open arms.  

I enjoy volunteering and the staff are very friendly and volunteers are helpful. I look forward to volunteering in the long run.”
