Volunteerism: Volunteers are at the

YMCA is at the heart of the community.
When you are a volunteer at the
YMCA, you are part of a not-for-profit
organization with a vision of building
strong kids, strong families and strong
communities.
Your time and talent will translate into
helping a child, mentoring a teen or
providing support for families. You can
help create a safe, healthy and caring
environment that will nurture people of
all ages and backgrounds, helping them
to become successful members of our
community. Program volunteers help to
lead programs as an instructor or coach
aide.
Support volunteers work in the office,
front desk or around the grounds. Fundraising
volunteers raise funds through
our campaigns (annual, capital, special
or sustaining), work on endowment
development, work at/run special events.
Volunteers are essential to the YMCA. If you
would like to volunteer, contact the Trotter
Family YMCA at 713.781.1061.
