TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES ONE LIFE AT A TIME

Every YMCA volunteer matters.  Volunteering with the Y doesn’t just make the lives of others better, it changes yours, too. When you volunteer, you discover a sense of belonging as you work alongside others for a common cause. The Y is more than a gym or a fitness center or meeting space - we are a community that transforms lives. At the Y, we have opportunities for families and individuals starting at 12 years old and up.    

Volunteers at the Y do multiple things to help us better serve the community. Opportunities include:

  • Y Readers Reading Buddies *Summer Opportunity
  • Queen City Readers Afterschool Tutor *School Year Opportunity
  • Youth Sports Coaches
  • Food Shares
  • Community Events (Golf Tournament, Races & more)
