About Volunteering
Volunteers are at the very core of the YMCA movement. They coach Y youth sports programs, work at Y service centers, tutor kids, assist with special events and help guide our branches as members of Y Boards of Advisors. Volunteers help create a safe, healthy and caring environment for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Dedicated volunteers, members, staff and donors enable the Y to provide invaluable services and programming to thousands of St. Louis children, families and individuals. Time and talent translates into helping a child, mentoring a teen or providing support.
