The Heritage Club is a group of individuals who believe in the mission of the Y and have chosen to remember the Montecito Y with a planned gift from their estate or a current gift to the Y s endowment fund. We are grateful that you believe in the difference that the Y can make in someone s life. Members are honored each year at the annual Heritage Club luncheon.

Success and growth of the Y movement is simple: Local volunteer leaders identify needs and provide value-based programs to the community they serve. Volunteers serve in many ways on the board of managers, program committees, helping out in the preschool, coaching youth sports or swim team or simply gathering together to serve. Join us by lending a helping hand to create a better community. Contact us at to find out about volunteer opportunities.
