EDWARDSVILLE - The Edwardsville YMCA is inviting the residents of Edwardsville and Glen Carbon to participate in a survey focused on evaluating the needs of the community. The non-profit currently impacts more than 20,000 members that take part in YMCA programs. The focus of the survey is to identify opportunities to improve programming and services for its members and the community as a whole. To encourage participation, the YMCA will give away two $100 gift cards to members who complete the survey and a Full Privilege Family Membership for a year to non-members who complete the survey.
The non-profit would like to collect as many responses from their current and former members and organizations within the community. The surveys will be available online at www.edwardsvilleymca.com and at the desks of the Allison Cassens Early Childhood Development Center, Niebur Center and Meyer Center throughout July. If residents would like to complete the survey, they can email marketing@edwymca.com.
