Volunteerism
You can help out anywhere, but you belong at the YMCA
The basis of the YMCA is volunteerism, and there are many ways to get involved.
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 needs to develop values like sportsmanship, compassion, and respect for self and others. Positive behavior in teens. Support for families so they can be successful and strong. Healthier lives for people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and incomes. A safer, more viable community that's a good place to live and work.
As a YMCA volunteer, you can lead a program, serve as a role model for young people, help out in the office or at a special event, raise money, or be part of a group or committee working on a neighborhood problem. 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.
To solve the problems closest to home or better yet, to prevent them before they crop up- the YMCA needs more people like you. Do something good. Volunteer at the YMCA.
