Volunteering at the YMCA

YMCA activities are fun, but our purpose is building strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Through volunteerism, YMCA members of all ages make a real difference in their community. YMCA volunteers participate in community service projects and support the mission of the YMCA by lending their valuable time and talent to worthwhile projects that make the YMCA and the community better places.

Examples of Volunteer Opportunities:

• Policy volunteers

  serve on committees, advisory boards, and the board of directors. These volunteers set the YMCA’s course and help staff achieve the YMCA’s mission. YMCA policy volunteers bring credibility to the YMCA through their visibility in the community, their professional expertise and their passion for community building.

• Program volunteers

  lend their time and talent to programs important to them – and the community. Volunteer coaches and instructors directly impact the personal growth of YMCA program participants in general, and children in particular.

• Annual campaign volunteers

  help raise funds that make the YMCA accessible to all, despite a family’s ability to pay full YMCA program and membership fees. Funds raised in your community stay in your community, and help your neighbors who need assistance to participate in YMCA programs.

• Capital campaign volunteers

  help the YMCA raise the funds necessary to build new facilities and refurbish older ones, thereby making the YMCA experience better for everyone in the community.

• Special event volunteers

  make YMCA special events…..well, special! Volunteers of all ages help make Halloween at the Y, Healthy Kids Day, YMCA open houses and other special events successful and fun.
