volunteer opportunities

YMCA Northumberland is committed to the concept and practice of volunteer development. We depend on a high degree of voluntary effort to serve as a link to the community and to help expand and improve programs. We believe that the partnership between volunteers and professionals is what makes our delivery of service unique and successful. Program volunteers are considered volunteer staff who are responsible and accountable to staff for their performance. Our program volunteers are expected to maintain the YMCA’s high quality of service. The YMCA provides training opportunities and support to its volunteers throughout their commitment to the YMCA.

Our Board of Directors are volunteers who, because of their expertise and interest, provide input and advice to Association staff in the formation of policies.

There are many volunteer opportunities within the YMCA:

• Adult Programs

• Membership Services

• Youth and Pre-school programs

• Youth Leader Corps

• Aquatics

• International Program

• Ontario Early Years

• Maintenance.

To become a volunteer, please ask for details at our Membership Services Desks at the Cobourg YMCA and the Brighton YMCA, or at any of our Ontario Early Years Centres.

We currently have over 130 volunteers who provide over 10,000 hours of service a year to our YMCA. We thank them for their generous support and commitment to our YMCA.
