About the Y Service Club

What is the Kaimuki Y Service Club

When you join the Kaimuki Y Service Club, you are joining an International organization of like-minded individuals who support both their local Y and the community at large through various service projects. We are an organization of former/current Y program participants, members, staff, and/or board members.

• There are 1,215 clubs world-wide

Our Objectives

• To function primarily as a service club for the YMCA and the youth.

Who can join the Y Service Club?

Membership to the Y Service Club is open to anyone and everyone - no referral required. Our ideal member is someone who loves their Y and/or is looking to meet new people who are community-minded.

There are no referrals required, nor any qualifications to join. We invite our members to attend Kaimuki Y Service Club meetings and to participate in our service projects.

What We Actually Do

In the Kaimuki Y Service Club, we plan and create events and projects designed to support the needs of our community and the YMCA. Examples of these would be Healthy Kids Day, the Spring Time Peace Project for elementary school kids, fundraising for the Y through the YMCA Annual Campaign, and various projects to improve the Kaimuki-Waialae YMCA branch.

When you become a member, you can expect a monthly meeting for planning these kinds of events and, just as importantly, to enjoy fellowship with all the other members of the Kaimuki Y Service Club.
