Volunteers are the heart of a
healthy community. They bring ideas, passion, vision, expertise,
and compassion. At the YMCA we value volunteers as a leadership
resource and encourage volunteering as a leadership development
opportunity. it is central to the YMCA's philosophy that we
deliver on our charitable mission through staff-volunteer
partnerships - whether it be at the Board Table, in the gym, in
the pool, or through our many programs for children, youth and
adults.
There are as many reasons for volunteering as there are
volunteers. Whether the motivation is helping out, getting
work-related experience, giving back to the community, or having
fun. The YMCA offers the opportunity to lead and serve and grow
in spirit, mind, and body by sharing your time and talent with
others. Volunteering enables people to exercise their vocation
or truest expression of self, which may not always be realized
through a job or career path. Whatever your age, stage or status
in life, there is a great satisfaction to be had in making a
difference through volunteering. it is how we can act on our
deepest convictions and highest ideals for yourself and
community.

It's amazing what can happen
when you give! The YMCA provides an orientation, staff support,
and a training to ensure that your experience as a YMCA
volunteer is a satisfying one for you. You determine where you'd
like to contribute, what you hope to gain, and how much of your
time you would like to contribute. If you are interested in any
of these opportunities, or have a suggestion for another type of
volunteer experience that meets your needs, please ask for a
volunteer form at the YMCA Membership Services Desk.
We look forward to welcoming you as a YMCA Volunteer! |
