Thank you for thinking of the Cumberland County YMCA as a place to donate your time and talents. Volunteers are the foundation of the YMCA. Without them, we would not be able to effectively meet the needs of children, teens, families and adults who live in our community. With your help, as a volunteer, our programs will become richer and our staff will be able to focus on growing existing programs, or creating new programs that will continue to serve our members' needs.

The volunteer opportunities at the YMCA are vast and varied. Here are a few possibilities:

Volunteer Drivers - You can help other members get to the YMCA.

Child Care / Preschool Volunteers - Stories, play time and more are possibilities in our child care programs.

Facilities Volunteers - Help make our YMCA sparkle. You can work with our maintenance crew inside and outside. This includes lawn and gardening.

Wellness Ambassadors - Assist members on the wellness (fitness) floor.

Group Excercise Instructors - Like to keep in shape, and help others along the way? How about leading a class?

Water Aerobics Instructors - Love the water? What about leading one of our water aerobics classes?

Clerical and/or Computer Volunteers - Our administrative staff can always use help with filing, mailings and other special projects.

Prime Time Assistant - Would you enjoy playing with kids as they enjoy the Y's Prime Time program, while their parents take some time for themselves and hit the wellness floor, a group exercise class or the lap pool?

Life Guard - Sign-up for our life guarding class and then volunteer in an exciting way.

Water Safety Instructor Aide - Take the WSIA course and volunteer to assist instructors with swimming lessons at the Y.

Teen & Sports Supervisors - Chaperone a program, or take the initiative and lead one.

Special Events Committee Members - Join the staff in organizing parties, community events and fundraisers (such as our auction, YMCA Peaks to Portland Swim, and more).

Sports Coach - Enjoy a sport? Pass on what you know to our young athletes at the Y.

And more!
