A volunteer founded the YMCA in England more than 150 years ago.
Volunteers are the backbone of the organization.
People of all ages from various communities contribute their time and talent in the areas of policy, program and fundraising. In 2000, more than 845 volunteers participated on Boards, raised funds, or assisted with programs. Some did all three. The Board meets quarterly. The Arrowhead, Family Services and Red Bank branches also have Boards of Management.
