Minot volunteer has heart for youth
Jill Schramm/MDN •
A backdrop of scenes from the Triangle Y Camp portrays the interest that Jay Altringer has in ensuring youth activities in the Minot area.
For the love of kids, Jay Altringer of Minot has chaired boards, coaxed donations from the community and gotten his hands dirty in manual labor.
It’s all about the kids, he said.
“When my boys were young, I made a commitment that if I was going to be involved and volunteer for certain things, it was going to be youth activities, and I have been involved in a lot of youth activities,” Altringer said.
He’s been chairman of the associations that support swimming and soccer in Minot. But much of his focus has been on the Minot Family YMCA.
Altringer, a Minot native and president of Investors Management & Marketing, joined the Y’s Men’s Club in the late 1970s. He later served as Y’s Men’s Rodeo chairman, Triangle Y Camp chairman and Y’s Men’s Club president.
