I AM THE Y

Quotes from our volunteers and clients
Zachary Miller

Zachary Miller

Board Chair

"I have volunteered with YFS for the past 5 years because it keeps me deeply connected with my community. Montgomery County is a diverse place with a lot of wealth and resources, but it also has unmet social service needs. It is very satisfying to work with YFS staff and volunteers to help meet these needs."
