Volunteering is more than just sharing your time and talent, it's about the satisfaction of knowing you are helping people become stronger, giving back to your community and gaining valuable work experience that will enhance your career opportunities.
YMCAs are deeply committed to providing opportunities for people to live healthy, confident, connected, and secure lives. To engage and inspire our community, the James Family Prescott YMCA would like to connect you to your talent and passion.
A volunteer is someone who performs a service willingly and without pay or compensation.
If you have a few hours to spare and would like to help carry out the mission of the Y, please sign-up with the link below. Contact Ryan Harlow, Operations Director with any questions at 928-445-7221. To ensure the volunteer experience is a rewarding one for everyone, applicants will be contacted for a personal interview to discuss skills, experience, time commitment and any training required.
Volunteers are at the heart of the Y. We were founded by a volunteer and we continue to be governed by volunteers. A great many of our programs for children and families are only possible because of the incredible people in our community who volunteer their time.
The James Family Prescott YMCA could not function without the help of our dedicated volunteers. There is something for everyone at the Y.
