Ways to Volunteer

As a Harris Express YMCA volunteer, your contributions make a significant impact. Our staff and members depend on you to assist in carrying out the YMCA Mission Statement: “To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.” No matter how great or small your time contribution is, every bit of your efforts is powerful and meaningful.
