Volunteer Opportunities
The Montgomery County Family YMCA has launched a new effort to recruit more volunteers. According to Pat Gilliland, YMCA Volunteer Coordinator, "We think it's very important to keep our organization rooted in the community. That's why we want to encourage volunteer involvement as much as possible." "Volunteers make our job much easier. We wouldn't be able to reach nearly as many children and families if we didn't have help from concerned, committed people from the community."
A YMCA volunteer can lead a youth group, coach a basketball team, support a fundraising drive, lead an aerobics class, chaperone a teen dance or pick another way to help out. Gilliland said anyone is welcome to volunteer at the YMCA- men, women, teens, adults and seniors.
The YMCA is the largest nonprofit community service organization in America. It works to nurture children, support families and make all communities healthy and safe places to live. There are more than 2,000 YMCA's in the U.S. All of them are directed by volunteer boards.
If you would like to become involved as a volunteer of the Montgomery County Family YMCA, just stop in or give us a call at (712) 623-2161.
