Y Volunteer

Contact your local branch to find out about volunteer opportunities!

"Our volunteers say they gain more in satisfaction and joy than they give in effort and inconvenience," says Michael Graves, CEO of the YMCA of Delaware. "Even a small amount of attention and time can make a world of difference in someone's life."

Be in step, in touch and involved. Helping others provides a warm feeling of health and reduces stress. Volunteering offers a way to help oneself by helping others. Y volunteers talk about helper's high - increased energy, better eating and sleeping and lower blood pressure.

Volunteer but volunteer wisely.

  • Offer your time and talent in an area you care deeply about.
  • Use your skills.
  • Don't over commit.
  • Learn something new.

"I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but I can
still do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do."
