YMCA - Volunteer at the Y

Volunteer at the Y

 

Across the U.S., more than 230,000 people volunteer at the Y. That’s thousands of neighbors, business leaders, parents, teens, community advocates and individuals who want to give back. Y volunteers give people of all ages—from all walks of life—the resources and support they need to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. Our volunteers are critical to implementing everything that happens at the Y and in their communities. 

 

Types of Volunteer Opportunities

 

Our volunteers are involved in nearly every aspect of the Ys services and operations. They strengthen our leadership by serving on our boards; they help us fundraise by leading our annual and capital campaigns; and they transform lives each day by serving as youth coaches, mentors, class instructors and leaders in our Y facilities and in the community.

 

Coach Youth Sports

Support and assist our sports directors, fellow coaches and kids while teaching children important life lessons that build character.

Mentorship

As a mentor, you can provide encouragement and guidance to a child or teen who needs support or has similar interests as you. Inspire and help them reach their full potential.

Afterschool Enrichment

Help provide kids with positive experiences that enrich their lives. Volunteer after school, and join us in providing a safe space for kids that is accessible and engaging.

Member Services

Be the first face people see when walking into a Y, and help provide a great experience to all members, guests and program participants.

Healthcare Professionals

Help us promote healthy living activities to members, program participants and staff. This opportunity is perfect for those who have a medical background and enjoy helping others.

Translation Services

Build bridges and help everyone feel welcome while putting your language skills to use.

Special Events

Join us for special one-day events throughout the year. Help harvest a community garden, serve meals to veterans and military service members, lend a hand cleaning up Y camps and so much more.

Corporate Opportunities

Make a difference on behalf of your company or organization, while building relationships with your colleagues. Our corporate volunteer opportunities enable employees to put their leadership skills to use for the greater good, like organizing a clothing drive, distributing nutritious meals or building a playground.

Board Volunteers

Our volunteer board members help improve their local Ys by committing their time and talent to ensure their Y is fiscally and operationally sound and welcoming to all.

Community Food Distribution

Help ensure your neighbors in need receive nourishing food by participating in food drives and mobile food distribution efforts.
