Amy Lewandowski and Sam Toft, a third-generation YMCA employee, were our speakers on Friday, January 31st. Amy is a member of our Club and deeply involved in fundraising for the Y. Sam is the Youth Director of the YMCA of Snohomish County. The Y is about youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. In 2024, Youth Development served 9,600 youth throughout the county. Their goal for 2025 is to have 550 volunteer coaches for 2025.
Sam said that the Y recently announced a new chapter for the YMCA of Snohomish County. Earlier this month, Whidbey Island's historic Camp Casey became the YMCA Camp Casey. This incredible 75-acre waterfront property was acquired from Seattle Pacific University. The new addition to the Y will serve as a place for their community to gather, grow, and explore, supporting their shared vision of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The Y offers so many programs for Youth and an overnight camp at YMCA Camp Casey is one of them. Check their website for more information.
