I have been a part of many of the programs that MVYATA has to offer. The programs were always hands-on and interesting. My daughter is now a product of the programs they offer. She has even donated time to help out in the community. MVYATA has great programs to offer the community.

I've been involved with MVYATA for 50 years. The organization has had a profound impact on my life. I made sure to involve my children and now my grandchildren. I am an active member of the Board of Directors to ensure the opportunities continue. MVYATA has truly been life-changing.

The 5-2-8 program has helped me build great friendships, allowing us to open up and be comfortable talking to people.

I have been coming to Camp Watakamini for as long as I can remember and will forever cherish it. Now, I'm a volunteer Leader, which has a profound impact on me, but I'm able to make an impact on the kids as well. Being someone the kids look up to is an amazing feeling, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I love that I can talk about anything with my group.

All my three children had the opportunity to go to Day Camp. The staff were kind and helpful, and my kids were safe. My kids still talk about camp and all the fun songs and crafts they got to do — they can’t wait to go back this coming summer!

Volunteering with MVYATA has changed my life. From Food Bank, to after school programs, fundraisers, Day Camp, enrichment events, and Camp Watakamini, I am always learning and acquiring new skills I never thought possible. I am forever grateful for this organization and the impact it has made in the Mon Valley and beyond.
