 • Our HistoryTen years ago, the South Brunswick Recreation Department asked the Princeton Family YMCA for assistance in serving the community. Soon after, the Monmouth Junction First Aid Squad partnered with the YMCA for office space and the YMCA began offering sports programs in the local schools. The YMCA then initiated an outreach effort by offering community-wide special events and fundraising for the creation of a full facility. Ultimately, the Princeton Family YMCA Board of Directors chartered the South Brunswick services as a branch operation, established by-laws and financing was secured to purchase the 26-acre site at 329 Culver Road, Monmouth Junction. In 2001, 19,000 of the 32,000 square feet of the building were retrofitted and the YMCA opened its doors for the first time. Today the facility includes a 20' x 40' teaching pool, a dance studio, Fitness Center, gymnastics center and a state licensed child development center. We offer a wide range of programs from our Parent/Tot gymnastics classes to arthritis classes for seniors. The South Brunswick Family YMCA also offers full day and part-time child care services for children age 2 months to 5 years. In April 2006, the Y was awarded a $49,243 Community Development Block Grant to construct a 30' by 60' pavilion. Zoning approval was granted by the Township of South Brunswick. The following local businesses donated material and/ or provide in-kind services: K&A Excavating, Trap Rock and Wiley Paving. Construction was completed in June, 2007. In June 2006, the Y completed the sale of 15.1 acres of land to the Township of South Brunswick for $1.25 million. The proceeds were used to reduce debt, upgrade the Fitness Center and renovate the remaining 12,000 square feet of warehouse space into a Youth Complex. The Youth Complex was officially opened February 10, 2007. In January 2007, the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders awarded the South Brunswick Family YMCA a $3.0 million grant to construct a full-size indoor pool. Cornerstone Architectural Group has been retained and Integrated Aquatics has been retained for the pool design. At this time, we are moving forward with completing a full facility site plan which will lay the groundwork for design and construction of the indoor pool. |

 • Our Volunteers The South Brunswick Family YMCA welcomes volunteers. Volunteers are the "heart" of the YMCA. Whether it's offering hugs in the nursery, homework help in the classroom or guiding students with disabilities into the pool for the first time... we are grateful to our volunteers. Volunteers work in all areas of the YMCA. In childcare, as coaches or swimming instructors, in fundraising events, our volunteers make the difference. Whether you're a teenager, mother, grandparent or corporate executive, we need you! All it takes is a little time to make a difference in someone's life. If you'd like to get involved and make a difference, send an email or give us a call. |

Adult Volunteer
Of The Year Claudia Beauregard has two children enrolled in the Child Development Center. Her volunteering began almost immediately upon enrolling her children by donating supplies for the all classrooms, not only the ones her children were in. Claudia can be found volunteering at classrooms parties, chaperoning on field trips, baking cookies for the children, setting up and cleaning up at after every family event and participating in fund raising events. She has been ‘found’ cleaning equipment, assembling new furniture and power washing the classroom chairs. Claudia has also volunteered during Teacher Appreciation Week including setting up, supervising children in each classroom so teachers could attend the luncheon and providing flowers for each teacher. She was recently recognized as Parent Volunteer of the Year by the Center staff. Claudia is a blessing to the YMCA and Child Development Center. |
