After recently graduating from Shrewsbury High School (SHS) and before beginning freshman year at Fairfield University in the fall, Dan Swanson will once again work at summer camp for the Boroughs Family Branch YMCA in Westborough. He’ll also likely find time to volunteer there.

Swanson was named Youth of the Year during the 152nd annual meeting and volunteer recognition event of the YMCA of Central Massachusetts held at the Boroughs Y.

According to Betsy Moquin, senior human resources director, “Dan’s passion for helping his community represents the Y’s core values of honesty, respect, caring and responsibility. Giving his free time to the Y, he has accrued over 300 hours of community service.”

He started volunteering at Camp Boroughs as a counselor-in-training (CIT) in 2013 at age 15. Compelled to continue volunteering, he returned during the school year to help in the Kid Zone. There, children are entertained while their parents exercise.
