VOLUNTEER

THE YMCA IS ALL ABOUT VOLUNTEERING. It was founded by volunteers, and continues to be led by volunteers, as well as based on volunteers. Unlike any other organization in the world, the YMCA brings together a diverse group of people of race, age, faith, gender, backgrounds and incomes.

SPECIAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Give A "Bright Beginning" for the New School Year
The YMCA Bright Beginnings program helps approximately 500 children with new school clothes, supplies, and a book bag to help children in-need start the year with confidence for success. Volunteer opportunities include shopping with children, making a cash donation to support the shopping trips, and donations of basic school supplies and new book bags. Older teens may volunteer with their parent to help shop with a child. Families with children may volunteer to help stuff book bags with school supplies.

Individuals or companies that wish to collect basic school supplies or book bags are asked to deliver them by August 1 to the Y of your choice (Bryan Y, Hayes-Taylor Y both in downtown Greensboro, Spears Y on Horse Pen Creek Road in Greensboro, Ragsdale YMCA in Jamestown, Stoney Creek YMCA in Whitsett, or Reidsville YMCA). Volunteers, including families, are invited to help stuff book bags with supplies and can make arrangements with the Y of their choice. Individuals, church or employee groups, and other or ganizations may also volunteer to collect supplies or shop with children. An organization can request a special trip and shop as a team with a group of Y children.($3,750 serves a group of 25 kids).
