Volunteerism

Last year, over 1,599 people gave back to their community by volunteering at our Y for a total of 29,042 hours, with an estimated value of $620,000!

At the YMCA of Southern Arizona, your time and talent go a long way. Every hour spent as a volunteer translates to:
  • The caring attention vital to child or teen, helping them to make smart choices.
  • Support for families stressed by the economy and time pressures.
  • Helping people of all ages and abilities to lead healthier lives.           
The wide variety of programs at the Y allows Volunteers to help our community in ways in which they are best prepared to serve. Visual and performing artists can find ways to excite and engage children in the arts. Athletes can help young team participants discover the joy of sports. Teachers and tutors know they are making a difference in literacy and other skills--abilities that will help people in thier communities go on to live more productive and positive lives.

The YMCA of Southern Arizona and its 5 branches operate with a Volunteer advisory that assist with strategic planning, policy and vision of the Y. This advisory is vital for the continual existence of the Y and the changes it brings along. You can become a Volunteer and lead our Board of Directors and Committees. Contact Kerry Dufour for more information.


Volunteers motivate and support youth, help build character strengths, develop skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, healthier lifestyles, smart life choices and the pursuit of higher education and aspiring higher goals in life.


Every year, more than 250 Volunteers participate to raise awareness and encourage financial participation at the Y. Volunteers join forces to raise support by calling friends, colleagues, and other contacts to provide more than  8,000 people with financial assistance for those who can not afford it otherwise. Thanks to our generous donors, we endeavor to never turn a child away due to an inability to pay. Join us in this cause. Contact Kerry Dufour for more information.

Daniel first came to the YMCA when he was thirteen years old. He had some family issues and his grandparents brought him and his brother to live with them. Because of his past, Daniel didn't feel very good about himself. He enrolled in our Leaders-in-Training program, stuck with it, and has grown to be a shining star. He coaches youth basketball, and regularly helps with Teen Nights and other community service projects. He loves giving back to his community, and enjoys helping families that are less fortunate. The Y helped Daniel mature into a fine leader and an outstanding young adult.
