"I volunteered in high school and now I'm working with today's youth volunteers. The YMCA in Bay Shore really is the heart of this community."

Bethpage employees, Michelle Gonsalves and Melissa Pagdanganan, volunteer at the YMCA of Long Island. Dedicated to building strong kids, strong families and stronger communities, the YMCA offers programs that develop the spirit, mind and body. From affordable summer camps 3,300+ kids enjoy every day and an island-wide FREE Teen Center Program on Saturday nights, to a Performing Arts Center and programs for our seniors, the YMCA offers something for everyone – regardless of their ability to pay. In fact, the YMCA awarded $2.1 million in program scholarships to more than 26,000 children and adults last year alone. |
"At the YMCA, everyone is treated with the same caring and respect. It doesn't matter if you're paying your own way or if your membership is waived under the scholarship program."
Michelle Gonsalves, district manager, is treasurer of the Huntington YMCA. |
