VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The YMCA is a volunteer organization. The Y was founded by volunteers, is led by volunteers and our Y has many more volunteers than paid staff. Some countries operate with only volunteers, but in the United States a partnership exists between volunteers and paid staff. We conduct background checks on both volunteers and paid staff.
