Become a trustee of YMCA Scarborough
There are essential building blocks for a full and rewarding life: a safe home; acceptance; guidance; friendship; physical and mental health; academic support; employment skills; and access to real opportunities.
Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them.
All of us.
At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and a better quality of life in the community.
“Trustees have overall control of a charity and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do `{`…`}` trustees are the people who lead the charity and decide how it is run”
