Robert Wilkins, President and CEO of The YMCA of the East Bay, the largest deployer of local volunteers, has called to action a request for volunteerism throughout the Bay Area, with the recently launched “You Are the Difference” collaborative campaign.

This campaign is designed to encourage the public to volunteer a few hours, this summer, to help ANY worthy organization that is doing good in their community. Community partners raising up their collective voices, along with the Y, to say that volunteerism matters include: the Chabot Space and Science Center, Richmond Community Foundation, East Bay Regional Park District, Pleasanton Community of Character Collaborative and KRON 4. 

You can follow the campaign on YMCA of the East Bay’s social media outlets: Facebook Twitter Pinterest (and let us know how you are volunteering in your community by using the hashtags #YVolunteer, #VolunteerEastBay and #GiveBack @YMCAEastBay 

To find a volunteer organization in need, the Y is suggesting the public connect with any of these volunteer organizations: Bay Area Volunteer Information Center, Volunteer Center of the East Bay, Hands on Bay Area and Volunteer Match.
