Are You Ready to Vote?!
At the Y, we believe voting isn't just a civic duty, it's also a key part of strengthening community. As a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, we are committed to helping individuals and communities across the Bay Area prepare for Election Day.
The YMCA of San Francisco continues to address the most pressing social issues of the day and so, we recognize that voting is associated with many positive benefits for both community members and nonprofit organizations like the Y. According to The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, voters are more likely to volunteer, contact their elected officials and stay informed about local affairs. It also helps strengthen social ties and improves health.
