Become a Y Volunteer!
At the YMCA, your time and talent go a long way. Every hour you spend as a YMCA volunteer translates into the caring attention a child or teen needs to grow up healthy and resilient. It translates into support for families so they can be successful and strong. It can lead to healthier lives for people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and incomes or you may be providing a safer, more viable community that’s a good place to live and work.
As a YMCA volunteer, you can lead an exercise class, read to a preschool class, coach a basketball team, greet people at the front desk, serve as a role model for young people, and help out in the office or at a special event. No matter how you help, you’ll make a big difference as you work with others to create a feeling of connectedness in your community.
The Y takes the safety of all our participants very seriously. All candidates are subject to a criminal background check. All volunteers are required to complete Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention courses and Safety Training. CPR and First Aid Certifications are required for some volunteer positions.
