VOLUNTEERS

Get Involved as a Marin YMCA Volunteer

At the YMCA, your time and talent go a long way. Every hour you spend as a YMCA volunteer translates into the caring attention a child or teen needs to grow up healthy and resilient. It translates into support for families so they can be successful and strong. Into healthier lives for people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and incomes. Into a safer, more viable community that's a good place to live and work.

YMCAs are first and foremost volunteer organizations. To put it in perspective, not every YMCA has a building, but every YMCA has volunteers. All 2,594 YMCAs are volunteer-founded, volunteer-based, and volunteer-led. Local volunteers establish YMCAs-not the YMCA of the USA-and local volunteers run YMCAs, continually ensuring that YMCAs are meeting the unique needs of their communities. Volunteers are at the heart of every YMCA and that is why YMCAs are at the heart of community life in more than 10,000 communities nationwide. From helping Civil War troops more than a century ago to international disaster relief efforts today, YMCAs are one of the nation's leading volunteer organizations.

As a YMCA volunteer, you can lead an exercise class, read to a preschool class, coach a basketball team, cook for a bake sale, greet people at the front desk, find items for an auction, serve as a role model for young people, help out in the office or at a special event, or be part of a group or committee working on a neighborhood problem. No matter how you help, you'll make a big difference as you work with others to create a feeling of connectedness in your community.

The basic definition of a YMCA volunteer is "anyone who willingly gives time to help the YMCA accomplish its mission without getting paid by the YMCA." In the Y movement, we have five categories of volunteers:

1. Program volunteers help lead programs or assist in delivering programs (e.g., a program instructor, coach, aide or member of a program advisory council). This category also includes those who offer community service as participants in a YMCA program.

2. Support volunteers serve in the office, at the front desk, in the locker room or on the grounds.

3. Fundraising volunteers raise money by working in annual, sustaining, capital or other special campaigns; working on endowment development; or by working at or running special events.

4. Policy volunteers serve on the Y's board of directors, on a committee or task force.

5. Managerial volunteers help manage and administer YMCA operations and programs (e.g., a pro-bono accountant or PR specialist).

Please note that young people can serve in all of the above capacities as long as, like adults, they have the proper skills, training and supervision.

Do something good. Volunteer at the YMCA.   

Each year, the Marin YMCA utilizes the assistance of over 300 volunteers. From students to seniors to community service participants, we have opportunities for every age and skill level.

If you have a few hours a week or month, we can set up a schedule for you. You can also volunteer at certain times of the year when we need groups to run large programs like SPLASH, Camp Creepy, or Camp Sign Up Day. The YMCA would not be the strong community organization it is without the overwhelming contributions of volunteers.

Administrative Department:
