In 2016, the Burbank YMCA Service Club donated a 12 passenger van to the Burbank Y for use in its Child Development Programs. It was the fourth van donated by the club in as many years and completes the Child Development Center’s transportation fleet. These vans are used to pick up children from Burbank schools and bring them to after-school activities at the Y. During the summer, the vans are often used to transport children, youth counselors or supplies to activities and field trips.

The Burbank YMCA Service Club is a chartered organization of active men and women who provide volunteer leadership for the YMCA. The club and its members assist Y staff in special projects and events and provide financial support for Y programs, buildings, equipment and grounds; volunteer in community programs to raise awareness for special needs; and contribute funds to the Y’s annual and capital campaigns by fundraising through Christmas tree sales, the annual pancake breakfast and soliciting grants/gifts.

The Burbank Community YMCA, has been an integral part of the community since opening its doors in 1924. The Y’s commitment to Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility is manifested through a variety of programs that provide people of all ages, ethnicities, lifestyles and income levels with the opportunity to become stronger in spirit, mind and body.
