For our Volunteer Day we are working in the garden and classrooms to get ready for an awesome school year! We need help organizing and sorting materials for programs, decorating our new creative learning space, hanging art in the hallways and of course, weeding in the garden! Come help us make the West Broad Street YMCA GLOW this year!
Make sure to bring your own gloves if you have them and plenty of water, some light refreshments will be provided. It's also that time of year to bring some bug spray and sunscreen as well!
Our garden serves the surrounding community as a place to learn and even feed the community-- but first we need a healthy garden, so come help us make the community thrive!

Description
The West Broad Street YMCA is for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Or history starts in 1968, the City of Savannah, in cooperation with the Housing Authority of Savannah, purchased four acres of land on May Street, one block west of West Broad Street. On this property, the City constructed a 25,000 square foot state-of-the-art recreational and community center for the residents of Kayton and Frazier Homes, as well as the broader down-town community. In 1999, Chatham County arranged for a 6,000 square foot childcare facility to be built on the property. It houses an early learning program for 80 children 6 weeks to 4 years, a before and after school program, an alternative school for suspended middle school age children, a Title I tutorial center, two computer labs, classrooms for GED and other adult education, fitness center, public library, a strong summer program, as well as a variety of enrichment and recreation programs. Children receive three well balanced nutritional meals each day through its onsite commercial kitchen with food supplemented from its organic garden.
