BE SOMEONE’S HERO –
BECOME A Y GOVERNOR TODAY

You Have the Power to Make a Difference

The Sylvan Adams YM-YWHA evokes many beautiful memories. Moments that shaped our lives, and those of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. We believe that all children and their families should have access to the tools they need to stay active and connected to our Jewish heritage and traditions.

As a governor, you are planting seeds for everyone to flourish in the only centre that brings together all of Montreal’s community. Seeds of chesed (kindness) and tzedakah (justice), seeds of culture and identity. Seeds of Tikun Olam. Your mitzvah provides a safeguard for those who face daily struggles, and a place to belong for all members of our Community. Your support has been — and continues to be — essential in these difficult times. Our Y, Montreal’s JCC, is the heart of the community, offering programs for all age groups to stay engaged and maintain mental and physical health.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the Y’s zoom Leadership program, Parent Sessions and Chaverim group. At this time of Covid-19, these programs have been a real God-send. The variety of activities keeps our son Shawn stimulated, interested, amused and happy. Your animators are amazing young people whose enthusiasm, support and praise make this experience a very positive one.
The result has been that Shawn, who is normally shy and hesitant about speaking out, has been communicating more at home and expresses his needs, wants and ideas more readily than before.

Our son has autism. Summer break is supposed to be home to some of your sweetest childhood memories. And we feared that all Peter would remember is feeling alone, not included, and out of place. Many summer camps just don’t have the resources to help autistic kids integrate. It was heartbreaking. Then we found out about the Y’s summer camp and everything changed. Through the expert support, kindness, and dedication of the counselors and staff at the Y, he’s become so much more… him. We see him eagerly participating and making friends. We see him reaching out to his peers instead of shying away from them. We see his personality emerging more and more. He wouldn’t be the ball of absolute sunshine he is without the Y. He wouldn’t feel like he belongs. He wouldn’t have a place.

Last Monday my son who is 34 years old, had the experience of going to see the Habs play. What an amazing experience for him. He not only met up with his group, who meet at the Y every Wednesday, but with other members of the Y. So, as a whole group they travelled together to the Bell centre. This what inclusiveness is about. He will not forget the rush of the game but also being part of a larger group.
