giving liberates the soul of the giver.”

Volunteer Information ~

Volunteer commitment is an important part of every activity at the Waldo County YMCA. Volunteers guide our organization as a part of the Board of Directors. Volunteers help in every department, nearly everyday.

We have a solid volunteer program at our YMCA with a very strong, committed volunteer base. Every year for the past 7 years we have at least 700 different people give of themselves in some way to our organization. That means over 8,000 volunteer hours during the year. That will only be strengthened as we move towards the 2011 year end. We value our volunteers and the excellent work that they perform!

If you enjoy the Waldo County YMCA and if you would like to be a part of things as a volunteer, please fill out a volunteer application, let us know what you would like to do and how you see yourself as being a part of our team. If you volunteer, we will make every effort to match your skills with our needs.

Please consider becoming a volunteer. The process is simple:
1. Fill out a volunteer application

3. Have background and reference checks
4. Complete orientation as a volunteer in your particular area

Volunteer Opportunities ~

Zamboni Driver
We are looking for an individual that would be interested in volunteering to wash our gymnasium floor on a regular basis. Prior knowledge of floor cleaning machines would be useful but not necessary. This is a 3 to 4 hour a week opportunity. Please see Tom for more details.

Baking & Cooking
We are looking for a volunteer who has the knowledge and the skills necessary to teach a short program that would involve baking or cooking to a group of older adults (folks 60 years and older). We will provide the basics but you would need to plan the 1-2 hour program for a morning presentation sometime this winter.

Pianist
If you are musically inclined and have an interest to play the piano for others to enjoy here at the YMCA, we have an opportunity for you to utilize your talent. Please see Tom for further details.

Fitness Instructors & Aqua Aerobics Instructors
We are always pleased to find individuals who want to volunteer as instructors. If you have skills and experience in fitness and you are interested in either running a class or filling in when we need help, please consider this opportunity.

Lifeguards
If you are a certified lifeguard and if you would be willing to volunteer a few hours at our pool, please consider this opportunity.

Water Safety Instructors
If you hold a current American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor certification and you would like to volunteer your time to teach swim lessons at the Waldo County YMCA, please consider this opportunity.

Swim Aide
We are looking for individuals that like working with children, have an encouraging nature, and can aide our water safety instructors in teaching swim lessons. Contact us for class times.

Dance Chaperones
During the school year, we have a middle school dance once a month. These dances are on Friday nights. If you would be willing to help with an entire dance or part of a dance, please let us know. There are always several staff members on board for each dance, the volunteers are primarily responsible for helping with refreshments, taking money or signing in the students.

Yard Work
We can always use adult help with work that needs to be done in the area surrounding the building. As the winter months approach us we will need help with snow removal, such as shoveling and snow blowing.

If you do not see an opportunity that suits you and you would like to volunteer in an area that is not mentioned above, fill out an application and indicate your interest.

Volunteer Opportunities are not limited to those listed above.
If you have a particular skill or interest that you would like to share with others, please come into the YMCA and fill out an application.
