Volunteer
A volunteer’s very nature helps root the YMCA to its identity as an association of people motivated by an ethic of service.
The Y’s founder was a volunteer. In 1844 George Williams saw a community need and created the Y to help fill that need.
A YMCA volunteer is defined as anyone who willingly gives time to help the YMCA accomplish its mission.
Types of Volunteers:
-Policy Volunteers
The people who serve on Y boards and committees, and those who act as trustees.
-Program Volunteers
Those who have direct contact with Y members and people in the community. They help the Y deliver programs and services. They may also help with membership.
-Fundraising Volunteers
Those responsible for the leadership and legwork that goes into successful fundraising campaigns and special events.
-Support Volunteers
The people who help out in the office, in the locker room, in the facility, and on the grounds.
Who can be a Volunteer?
Men, Women, Teenagers, Families, Young Adults, Older Adults
and YOU!
The YMCA, throughout its history, has been dependent on volunteers. Today, some 350,000 volunteers serve the YMCA nationwide.
