Your story, whether it’s about you, the people you know, or an entire community, has the potential to motivate others with real-life tales of how the Y not only promises but delivers positive change. Through your unique and special voice, the Y can share your story to bring people together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors. If a story about the Y has meaning for you and you’re willing to tell it, then we believe it’s worth hearing!
Here are some story suggestions:
- Inspirational stories of triumph that demonstrate how the Y provided a program, facility, resources or staff support to help you and your family. The story should also demonstrate the Y’s mission in some way through either Youth Development, Healthy Living or Social Responsibility.
- It demonstrates the role that the Y played in your or your family’s success in overcoming specific circumstances, challenges and issues, a disability, met a need, or how you adopted a healthy lifestyle. It should be compelling and unique. There are numerous stories throughout the Y, but we’re looking for the ones that dramatically stand out and have a positive “wow” factor.
- The subject of the story must be willing to share it with the community-at-large and be able to articulately tell it and present a positive image. If used, the story will likely be captured on video and be edited for various communications channels to encourage others to belong to the Y.
