Volunteer

At the Y, we believe that when people come together for a common cause, the whole community is strengthened. When you become a volunteer, you have the opportunity to share your blessings with those who need it most. Whether you mentor a student on the verge of dropping out, coach a team to their personal best or become a friend to an isolated senior, your time and talent changes lives.

When you help a neighbor, you make a difference in their life… and yours.

Getting Started:
In an effort to provide a safe environment for our members, participants, staff and volunteers, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte does have a volunteer screening process.  This may include one or more of the following: a volunteer application, references, interview and/or criminal background check dependent on the volunteer area.  We thank you for your interest and participation as the YMCA works to provide a safe environment for all.
