Our Y is one of 14 campus-based YMCAs in the U.S. and a member of the Coalition of Campus YMCAs (better known as CCY). Last winter, CCY held its first ever service trip dedicated to bringing together students from different campus Ys for a common purpose to exchange ideas and foster the growth of the YMCA movement.
THIS JANUARY, CCY will have its 2nd Annual CCY trip in Washington, D.C. centered on the issues of hunger and homelessness. Below is a message from our own, Kevin Williams, about the trip. Please share this information with members of your group. More details will be posted as they are available.

Hello All:
As many of you know, 2008 marked CCY's first ever ASB trip -- a fantastic service learning trip to New Orleans prepared by former CCY Vice Chair, Amber Franklin. In continuing this tradition, I would like to inform you about CCY's upcoming trip: CCY ASB | Washington D.C. The trip, from Jan-4 to Jan-11, will focus on the issues of hunger and homelessness in the greater D.C. area. Service activities will include working at soup kitchens and participating in programming such as Age-In-Place (AIP). I am currently working on setting up a few seminars/workshops as educational components to the trip.
If you are interested, please let me know and I will provide more details (costs, etc.) for the trip. There are 26 spots for this trip.
Hope to hear from you!
Kevin Williams
Vice Chair | CCY
