Somerset Hills YMCA

The Community Engagement Committee supports the Branch Board in cultivating a welcoming environment where all individuals and families feel respected and have meaningful access to Y programs and services. The committee leads initiatives that reflect and celebrate the cultural diversity of the communities served by the Y. Past efforts have included organizing the annual MLK Day of Service, coordinating engagement activities for Hispanic Heritage Month and Black History Month, and recognizing cultural observances such as Diwali, Holi, the Lunar New Year, Juneteenth, and Pride Month. Engaged volunteers are encouraged to participate in monthly committee meetings, contribute to event planning and outreach, help convene local partners, and serve as ambassadors for the Y’s values and community mission.
