M.E. Lyons YMCA

Parent Table is a Y experience that brings families together. Children explore creative play, story time, and games while parents connect with one another. Families then come together for a group activity, creating meaningful moments in a welcoming space where everyone can learn, connect, and grow. Love bringing people together and helping others feel welcome? As a Parent Table Community Host, you’ll help create a warm, social space for parents to connect after each professionally facilitated Parent Table session. The Community Host isn’t responsible for leading or facilitating the Parent Table discussion. Instead, you’ll help carry the connection into the social hour by welcoming participants, sparking conversation, introducing parents to one another, and making sure everyone—especially someone who may be new or attending alone—feels included. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys connecting with other parents, loves sharing the joys and challenges of raising kids, and naturally encourages others. You’ll help celebrate connections, keep conversations going, and create the kind of community where parents look forward to coming back. 💬 Build community by helping parents connect with one another 💛 Encourage & include by making everyone feel welcomed and valued 🎉 Create connection by bringing energy and warmth to the social hour 👨‍👩‍👧 Share a passion for families and building a supportive community for parents and kids You don’t have to be an expert or have all the answers—just someone who loves people, enjoys bringing others together, and wants to help parents feel like they belong.
