Volunteering
At the YMCA, your time and talent go a long way.
Volunteers have been the backbone of the YMCA since its establishment over 150 years ago. Today, hundreds of volunteers donate their time to govern the organisation and to conduct a wide variety of programs and services. We acknowledge the unique contribution that each YMCA volunteer brings to the Movement and thank them on behalf of the communities they serve.
Volunteering is the backbone of Australian life, the YMCA provides a diverse range of volunteering opportunities for the communities we operate in, our participants and members and importantly our staff. There is a pressing need for a deeper commitment of time, talent and resources from more people - greater community involvement. There is also a need to give more people the chance to exercise responsible community leadership.
By becoming a YMCA Volunteer you have a unique opportunity to contribute to your community in a way that is both meaningful to you and to the wider community. Contact your local Y for details.
