POTENTIAL PROGRAMS AND ROLES FOR YMCA VOLUNTEERS

The basic definition of a YMCA volunteer is "anyone who willingly gives time to help the YMCA accomplish its mission without getting paid by the YMCA." In the Y movement, we have five categories of volunteers:

  1. Program volunteers help lead programs or assist in delivering programs (e.g., a program instructor, coach, aide or member of a program advisory council). This category also includes those who offer community service as participants in a YMCA program (e.g., the members of a Hi-Y club, or school-age children who interact with adults as part of an intergenerational buddy program).

  2. Support volunteers serve in the office, at the front desk, in the locker room, or on the grounds.
  3. Fundraising volunteers raise money by working in annual, sustaining, capital, or other special campaigns; working on endowment development; or by working at or running special events.
  4. Policy volunteers serve on the Y's board of directors, on a committee, or task force.
  5. Managerial volunteers help manage and administer YMCA operations and programs (e.g., a pro-bono accountant or P.R. specialist).

Please note that young people can serve in all of the above capacities as long as, like adults, they have the proper skills, training, and supervision. They are probably most likely to serve as program volunteers-doing anything from cleaning up rivers as part of a YMCA Earth Service Corps program to teaching aerobics to serving as a counselor-in-training at camp. It's less likely that they would serve as managerial volunteers, though it's entirely possible.
