VOLUNTEERS WANTED
Resolve to get involved! The Y knows the many accomplishments we strive for would not be possible without volunteers. We are looking for Members to sign on to help other Members within the four walls of the Y. Be a fitness friend to someone in youth or adult classes, become a buddy to someone who needs one-on-one support, volunteer by coaching, teaching a class in the Senior Center, or use your skills in math or homework tutoring. We are confident that there is a need that will fit your interests and talents with long and short term requirements to meet your schedule. Ongoing volunteers must be 16 years of age or older. Students who need service learning hours under the age of 16 might be accepted on a case by case basis if there is a need that fits their hours of availability.
