Gretchen Stiger's Story
The YMCA of Snohomish county has played a big part in helping my children and student's learn how to be participants in their community.
My own children have used the YMCA to learn to swim, play basketball and commit to a life of health and fitness.
My students have benefited from the generosity of the YMCA as a safe place to hang out and find mentors to guide them in their life goals. When I was helping my students find jobs that would provide not just a wage, but also a chance to work with people who could mentor their quest for career knowledge; the Everett YMCA stepped forward to help.
The YMCA provides a safe place for our young people to interact and learn how to become future leaders in our community.
Please join me in helping to support the programs that will allow these experiences to continue.
