Volunteer

Volunteers have been the life-blood of the YMCA since its beginning in 1844. Today volunteers continue to play a major role. Our Board of Directors set policy and direction and provide oversight to the YMCA's operations. Program volunteers serve as mentors, fundraisers, coaches, and tutors. If you have an interest in serving as a volunteer, either on the "policy" or "program" side, please call Russ Hayward at (209)472-9622.

Ultimate Football Party

Since 1994 this annual bash has been a popular and well attended event.  This year’s Ultimate Football Party consists of a Raiders vs. New England Patriots football game at the Oakland Coliseum.  Imagine the excitement of seeing one of the emerging NFL dynasties, the return of Tom Brady to the area in which he grew up, the return of Randy Moss to the area in which he’s despised!

Participants ride a comfortable coach to Oakland and sit in luxury boxes near the 40 yard line with incredible views of the field and game.  Ample food and beverages are always available.  This year’s game is scheduled for Sunday, December 14^th.  For more information and ticket prices, call Russ Hayward at 472-9622.
