Last year alone, our exceptional volunteers contributed more than 1,100,000 volunteer hours on tasks as diverse as serving on YMCA Association Boards of Directors, teaching fitness classes, helping out with fundraising, running special events, delivering children and youth programs, mentoring, and more.

Given the exceptional breadth and scope of YMCA programs and services, the volunteering possibilities are almost endless.
