How you help

Thank you for considering the YMCA as a place to donate your time and talents. Volunteers are vital to the YMCA. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to meet the needs of the kids, families, and adults who live in our community. A variety of volunteer opportunities are available, so we are able to match your interests with our needs in most cases.
About us

Our cause is focused on strengthening the communities we serve through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The Y nurtures the potential of every child and teen. From cradle to career, the Y provides kids with the tools and resources to succeed in life. We aim to improve the health and well-being of the Blue Water Area through programs and events that promote wellness, reduce risk for disease and help others reclaim their health. When we work together, we move individuals, families and the community forward. You’d be surprised at what a huge difference a little bit of your time can make.
