Judy is one of our dedicated corporate office volunteers. She received first-hand knowledge of the YMCA through her husband Clint, director of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. Judy has supported front desk activities at our corporate office for the last 3 months and now contributes 10 hours a week.
"From someone who has just started volunteering at the Y, I can only say, 'What took me so long?'" she said of her rewarding experience. "I just needed a push, and a ride to work!"
After retiring, Judy felt she could use her free time to accomplish many tasks at home. The feeling faded however, and she soon began missing the people at the Y who made her smile.
"I took off my slippers and boots, put on my work shoes and joined the Y office staff," she said. "I can only say thanks for this opportunity to be with great people with a great mission. Volunteering has given me purpose and continues to bring me joy."
