Volunteer at the Y
Volunteer
The Y began as an all-volunteer organization, and to this day, volunteers play an integral role in everything we do.
From strategic planning to fundraising, from coaching to reading to a child, volunteers are the heart of our Y. When you become a volunteer at the Y, you can share your talents, strengths, and gifts with those who need it most.
With a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, we have a place for anyone looking to connect and make a difference in our communities.
GENERAL VOLUNTEERING
YMCA volunteers help create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Opportunities include greeting members, helping our administrative teams, and lending an extra hand where it’s needed.
ANNUAL CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEER
Generosity comes in many forms, and it's often the best way to support important causes that matter the most in our lives. We are always looking for volunteers to join our fundraising team that help our Y meet our Annual Campaign goals. All the dollars raised go toward meeting the greatest needs of our community and our YMCA.
YOUTH PROGRAM VOLUNTEER
Like kids? So do we. Volunteer in any one of our many youth programs. Help with homework during YMCA After School, teach creative skills, read books to kids or lead games.
PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAM & CHILDCARE VOLUNTEER
YMCAs provide childcare for parents using the facility. Volunteers are an extra set of hands to rock a baby, or to play games with young children or lead an art project for our older kids. Or volunteer to come and speak about your job or hobby.
MENTORS AND TUTORS
Volunteers help kids with homework, reading and math skills throughout the year through our achievement gap programs. Kids need a friend and a mentor, and these one-on-one opportunities serve our community in many ways.
SPORTS COACHES
Use your talents to encourage, guide and train young athletes at the YMCA by coaching youth sports including basketball, soccer, T-ball and baseball.
VOLUNTEER WITH THE YMCA
From coaching a sport to mentoring a young person, the Oswego YMCA has a multitude of volunteer opportunities for you. We offer short-term and long-term commitments.
