Voices of Impact
Hear directly from youth ages 7-13 whose lives have been shaped through Beyond the Bell and Shared Services Mentorship.
Youth were asked to reflect on their favourite memories, the activities they enjoyed and what the program meant to them.
Through the support of generous donors, community partners and individuals like YOU, young people in our communities are building confidence, forming meaningful friendships, and finding safe, supportive connections that help them thrive.
Your support ignites their potential — creating opportunities for youth to grow, belong, and succeed.
Hear the stories of three youth whose lives were impacted by YMCA programs.
Each story reflects the importance of connection, belonging, mentorship, and support — and how a caring community can help young people build confidence, resilience, and hope for the future.
Now check out the moments that matter…
laughter, learning, and connection!
These stories are reminders that behind every program is a young person discovering their potential because of the support of people like you.
Help keep these voices heard and these stories growing. Every donation creates opportunities for more youth to access life-changing programs, trusted mentors, and a community where they belong.
