The YMCA of Greater Richmond is partnering with the City of Richmond to host a Teen Day of Service! All students in grades 6—12 (you do NOT have to be a Y member) are invited to come get their hands dirty, meet new people and serve our great city on May 7th.  Volunteers will gather at Festival Park (next to the coliseum) at 8:00 a.m. and break into groups to volunteer for the day in city parks and city schools.

 Interested participants must sign up at a YMCA branch BY April 18th—parents must sign for participants under the age 18.
