Volunteers are vital to the YMCA. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to meet the needs of the people who live in our community.

From board members to youth sports coaches to smiling greeters, volunteers are the heart of the Y. Hundreds of business leaders, community members, parents, teens, and so many more dedicate their time and talent to strengthening their local community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Becoming a volunteer allows individuals to give back and learn something about themselves in the process. The Y is a nonprofit like no other. Get involved today.

Why volunteer?

As a YMCA volunteer, you’ll directly impact the lives of people, families, children, and seniors, and help make our community stronger. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Explore your interests and passions
  • Broaden your personal and professional skills
  • Develop leadership skills
  • Fulfill a school requirement
  • Meet new friends from all walks of life.
  • Support a cause that brings lasting personal and social change to others.
  • Feel good, improve your health and reduce stress.
  • Learn, grow, and have fun
