Y Volunteer

Take an active role for our community.

Across the United States, more than 500,000 business leaders, community advocates, parents, teens and individuals who want to give back and support their neighbors volunteer at the Y. That’s because in the greater Fort Wayne area, we have the presence and partnerships to not just promise, but deliver positive, personal and social change.

With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, Y volunteers give men, women and children of all ages and from all walks of life the resources and support they need to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.

Y Volunteers:

• Lead our Boards of Directors and committees
• Raise funds to ensure the Y is accessible to all members of the community
• Coach sports teams and teach many classes
• Motivate and support youth in building the character strengths, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, smart life choices, and the pursuit of higher education and goals
• Extend a hand to help adults who want to do more, be more or live healthier
• Advocate for the Y’s efforts to influence policies and initiatives that positively impact societal issues of importance to the nation, and your community
• Participate in opportunities to give back and support neighbors

The Y is a nonprofit like no other. Take an active role in strengthening our community. For information on how you can volunteer with the Y, contact Wells County YMCA at 260-565-9622.
