Volunteering:
Join our One-Time Volunteer Mailing List!
Our YMCA has a steady need for volunteers who can help on a one-time or short term basis. This could be helping with a special event such as our Healthy Kids Day fair, fundraising for our scholarship fund in the month of February, leading an afternoon activity at a child care center based on that month's curriculum theme, doing a cooking project with kids that reflects your family's heritage, or even lending a hand with gardening/landscaping on our property. Give us your e-mail address and we'll send you a monthly digest of upcoming opportunities. Requirements: Volunteers will be asked to give us their legal name, date of birth and contact information at the time of service; this information will be treated confidentially. Other requirements will vary based on the individual activity. Contact Samantha at sbowes@seattleymca.org.
