MISSION
We strive to strengthen, promote, and increase the health and wellness of local youth while fostering a stronger community through no cost or low-cost sporting activities and programs in the Greater Lynchburg area.
Get Involved
Become a LAYSi Team member. Join us in creating opportunities for youth in our community through sports. Contact us and let us know how you would like to be involved. Partners, Volunteers, and Donors are always needed.
LAYSi is unique in the nonprofit community. It is not a 501(c)3 agency. The United Way of Central Virginia is its fiduciary agent. Instead of a board, there are three levels of volunteering:
- LAYSi Core Team Members
- As a Core Team Member, you will make the major decisions for the organization. You will meet on a regularly, scheduled and unscheduled basis to discuss and make decisions on upcoming activities. You will attend and participate in planned LAYSi events and represent LAYSi in the community.
- LAYSi Partner
- Partners are available on a regular, normally monthly, basis. They help in the brainstorming process, initiate new contacts, and may be members of special projects such as the Unity Walk and Summer Fun Day, or support new initiatives such as Lightning Golf and the Sneaker Ball.
- LAYSi Volunteer
- Volunteers are available for day-of activities. When work or family schedules do not allow for participation in planning meetings and/or event preparation, volunteers support special projects when large number of volunteers are needed.
