Volunteerism

‌Volunteers are at the heart of the YMCA and that is why the YMCA is at the heart of the community. When you are a volunteer at the YMCA, you are part of a not-for-profit organization with a vision of building strong kids, strong families and strong communities.

Your time and talent will translate into helping a child, mentoring a teen or providing support for families. You can help create a safe, healthy and caring environment that will nurture people of all ages and backgrounds, helping them to become successful members of our community.

• Program volunteers - help to lead programs as an instructor, coach or aide.

• Support volunteers - work in the office, front desk or around the grounds.

• Fund-raising volunteers - raise funds through our campaigns (annual, capital, special or sustaining); work on endowment development; or work at/run special events.

• Teen Volunteers (ages 13-16) - Need volunteer hours for school or resume building? Y Teen Volunteers are able to accumulate hours by helping out at the YMCA. Volunteers are needed for sports, membership, camps and special events. All teens must pass a screening process and attend an hour-long training in order to volunteer at the YMCA.

Volunteers are essential to the YMCA. If you would like to volunteer, contact Liz Ramos by calling 713-664-9622.
