At the YMCA of Greater Springfield we work to develop passionate, cause-driven leaders. We engage, develop and empower our staff and volunteers at every level who are passionate and dedicated to the Y’s mission, cause and values. These are people who provide enduring leadership and generously support the organization with their time and resources.

Working as “One Association,” the beauty of our Y is staff and volunteers working together to realize our mission. Each of us shares our time, energy and focus on strengthening our communities through helping kids reach their potential, encouraging healthy living for all ages, and giving back to our neighbors.
