Board of Directors
The YMCA of Greater Kalamazoo thrives on community support. We are grateful for the compassionate, dedicated, and hard-working volunteers whose talents and commitment help us nurture the potential of all in the Greater Kalamazoo region. These individuals work selflessly through the YMCA's Mission to improve the health and well-being of our community and provide support to our neighbors by volunteering their time to be members of our Board of Directors and support us as community leaders and advocates.
