Volunteer at the YMCA
A YMCA volunteer is defined as anyone who willingly gives time to help the YMCA accomplish its mission without receiving compensation or special privileges of any kind from the YMCA.
The volunteer-staff partnership allows the volunteer to:
- Develop leadership skills and other skills.
- Give back to the community.
- Develop a higher sense of self-esteem.
- Develop self-discipline through goal setting
The YMCA has always been and continues to be dedicated to helping people grow in spirit, mind and body. The YMCA continues to help people realize their potential by developing self-esteem and a greater sense of pride in themselves and their community.
The YMCA actively involves volunteers, members and staff in offering relevant programs that build healthy lives and communities.
Our values have directed our past, and will drive our future as they are imparted from one generation to the next. These, combined with our mission of personal growth and social responsibility have inspired countless Canadians to give their time, talent and money to provide needed services whenever possible.
As a charitable organization, volunteers form the heart and soul of a YMCA. They are ambassadors, providing us with a unique way to reach our members and participants. When you volunteer for the YMCA, you help us create stronger communities.
