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.

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.

I’ve been going to Camp Watakamini since I was 10 years old. Now at 19, I love volunteering my time because every year you can rekindle memories you never thought you would experience again.

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!

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