Lake Norman YMCA Volunteer Projects
At the Y, we believe that when people come together for a common cause, the whole community is strengthened. When you become a volunteer, you have the opportunity to share your blessings with those who need it most. Volunteering with the YMCA is powerful because you’re not just joining a mission, you’re joining a community of like minded people who want to make a difference.

Lake Norman YMCA Volunteer Interest
New volunteers interested in signing up for volunteer opportunities at the Lake Norman YMCA will sign up to attend an In-Person Volunteer Orientation first. Below is a brief breakdown of the process you should expect as you sign up to Volunteer for the Lake Norman YMCA: - Register yourself in Volunteer Matters and select a date you wish to attend your volunteer orientation. When you sign up for your orientation, it will prompt you to complete a few of the requirements that we have for our program Volunteers including Child Abuse Prevention training online and a background screening. Please make sure these are completed before your in-person orientation. - At this In-Person Volunteer Orientation we will: read and review over the Volunteer Handbook, Check-In document, and Volunteer Orientation Guide, take a Branch Tour and hear more about our current opportunities. When you arrive, please check in at the front desk and they will show you where to go for the orientation. - Once volunteers complete the in-person orientation, you will receive an email with links to all our current volunteer projects that you may start signing up for.
