Benefits of Volunteering

Through volunteering, it's possible to:

1. Become part of the local community, get to know other members and really give back
2. Learn new skills that you can bring to a new career or to your life
3. Have fun doing something new and exciting
4. Meet people who can become lifetime friends
5. Make a difference in the local community

Volunteering is often very personal. Some people choose to volunteer at the Y because it helps them get out of the house and do something new. However, you don't need a reason to volunteer.

If you find a volunteering position that interests you, sign up.

Over 1,600 people volunteer at the Y every year. These individuals find their fit in their community by giving back at the Y. As a volunteer, you have a chance to improve your well-being and community health.
