The Lowe Family YMCA is seeking community feedback through listening sessions and surveys regarding the future of its programming and services, as well an upcoming tree lot.
“The YMCA is rebuilding, and we want to hear from you,” Executive Director Jim Kirtley wrote. “Join us for one of our upcoming Community Engagement Listening Sessions and share your voice on what programs, services and support matter most to our families, youth and neighborhoods.”
Formerly Palisades-Malibu YMCA, Lowe Family YMCA is hosting a listening session on Thursday, November 6, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Calvary Christian in the Waterside Room. The next session will take place at Collins & Katz Family YMCA (1466 S Westgate Avenue) on Wednesday, November 12 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
RSVP to either of the listening sessions here. These sessions follow the first one, which took place on Tuesday, November 4, at Palisades Recovery Coalition.
Those who cannot attend in person are encouraged to complete an online survey.
“As part of the community engagement process, we are gathering insights on how the YMCA can support Palisades and surrounding area families,” the survey link read. “Your input is invaluable in shaping programs and services that meet the needs of our diverse community. Please take a few moments to complete this survey. Your responses will help ensure the YMCA is a welcoming and resourceful space for all.”
Kirtley is also seeking feedback through a survey for the Lowe Family YMCA’s upcoming Tree Lot, which is slated to run between November 28 and December 19 at Simon Meadow.
“Before we finalize preparations, we’d love your feedback,” Kirtley wrote. “We want to make sure this year’s Tree Lot truly meets the needs of our community. Thank you for being part of the Lowe Family YMCA family. Together, we can make this season bright for all.”
