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.
