Become a Volunteer
Volunteers are the backbone of the YMCA. At all levels, volunteers contribute valuable resources of knowledge and talents to help our association carry out its mission. Whether your talents and interests are in sports, special events, or fundraising, the YMCA has an opportunity waiting for you!
Especially for our young volunteers, we have opportunities starting at 13 years of age through our teen swim assistant program and our camp counselor in training program at 15 years of age.
All Volunteers over the age of 18 years old are required to pass a background check.
