their paid employment and of their normal responsibilities to contribute
time and service to a non profit cause in the belief that their
activity is beneficial to others as well as satisfying to themselves.
The YMCA is Volunteers!

- Without them we could not provide our community with the extensive
services and programs currently offered.
- Volunteers provide essential assistance in the administration
of each branch, serve on committees and work with staff to meet
the needs of our members/participants.
