Unplug to Find Connection

The holidays are all about spending quality time with family and friends in your community, but technology and screen time can get in the way. At the Y, members like you – of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life – can set the virtual world aside to make lasting, meaningful connections in real life.
Here are a few ideas for making deeper connections this holiday season:
Try something new

Consider trying a new sport of fitness programs at your Y. A new experience can help you and your family connect with each other, meet new people and stay active!

Volunteer

The Y is a volunteer-led organization that benefits communities with many opportunities to make a difference. Ask the front desk about ways to give back alongside your neighbors.

Make friends

Have you thought about striking up a conversation with someone new in the lobby of your Y or after a great class but weren’t sure how to begin? Chances are,  you’re not alone. Try these conversations starters and you’ll be making connections in no time:

  • What’s your favorite holiday tradition?
  • What was your favorite volunteer experience?
  • Were you a Y kid growing up?

Evansville Bar Association Supports YMCA Youth and Government Program

The Evansville Bar Association donated $2500 to the YMCA Youth and Government program.

The Evansville Bar Association recently donated $2500 to the YMCA of Southwestern Indiana for its Youth and Government program.

The YMCA Youth and Government program instills a sense of civic duty among today’s youth.  The program allows kids to see the inner workings of our legislative process and participate in their own mock trials and bill drafting. More than 50 students represent Evansville at the Indiana Statehouse each year, participating with other student delegates across the state.  Our student delegation has been the largest in the state…even larger than Indianapolis.
