Why volunteer?
Volunteering with the YMCA not only can greatly improve the lives of children and families and make our communities stronger, but it can also greatly impact your life. Research shows that those who volunteer live longer, healthier lives. In addition to feeling great about your efforts, volunteers have the opportunity to:
- Explore personal interests and passions
- Attend trainings to broaden personal and professional skills
- Include experience on resume or fulfill service requirements
- Develop new relationships and make friends
- Learn, grow and HAVE FUN!
For more information contact Rodney Scott or call 425.485.9797.
Note: The YMCA does not offer free memberships in exchange for volunteer service. However, volunteers are provided reasonable facility use related to their roles, subject to limits approved by the branch executive. Volunteers may not trade their time for free or reduced cost program participation; doing so creates tax liabilities for both the individual and the YMCA. Insurance is not provided by the YMCA for volunteers.

What can adults do?
Serve in a YMCA Leadership Capacity
Board and committee members provide strategic direction and governance to our organization. Opportunities include branch boards of managers; financial development, marketing or membership committees; program committees and many other opportunities.
For more information contact Luann Jackman, Executive Director or call 425.318.8000.
Partners With Youth (Fundraising Campaign) Volunteers
The YMCA Partners With Youth Campaign secures funds from members, local businesses and service clubs to support programs for youth and families. Each February, more than 1,500 volunteers seek the support of other community members to share the story of the YMCA's positive impact. Because of this volunteer support, 95 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to the programs and people who need them. This is an excellent opportunity to gather with others, practice your presentation skills and make a huge difference in your community. The Partners With Youth Campaign typically begins in February through mid March.
For more information contact Rodney Scott or call 425.318.8039.
Serve in a YMCA program for kids, teens, families, or adults
Virtually every program the YMCA offers also has associated volunteer opportunities. Volunteers teach fitness classes, mentor youth, coach sports teams, and organize special events. They serve as caregivers, advisors and role models for community members of all ages, and help us have a much greater impact than we ever could with only employees.
What Can Youth and Teens Do?
Program Opportunities
There are many opportunities for young people to volunteer at YMCA branches. Depending on the needs of each location, students may volunteer at the front desk, as lifeguards or in many other capacities.
Service-Learning Opportunities
Service-learning is a process that involves identifying learning objectives, participating in meaningful service, and reflecting on the entire experience. Students have many opportunities to participate in service-learning opportunities at our YMCA branches. Students can receive credit for service projects conducted through many or our teen programs such as the YMCA Earth Service Corps and other leadership clubs. College students may also work with local branches to create unique service-learning opportunities to fit individual interests.
For more information contact Rodney Scott or call 425.485.9797.
