Volunteer at the Manatee County Y

The Manatee County YMCA is a non-profit social services organization dedicated to serving our community. Last year there were over 1,000 volunteers that donated over 25,000 hours. To help you choose an area in which you would be interested, the YMCA has established five categories of volunteers:

• Program Volunteers - help to lead programs, such as youth sports coach, swim instructor, YMCA READS! mentor.
• Fund Raising Volunteers - raise funds through our campaigns (Annual Community Scholarship, Capital or Special Events).
• Policy Volunteers - serve on the Association Board of Directors, Branch Board of Advisors,  on a committee or on a task force.
• Support Volunteers - work at the front desk, around the grounds, or greet and give tours.
• Managerial Volunteers - help to manage or administer YMCA operations or consult on special projects.  As a key leader in the community, are you interested in volunteering on the Y Branch Advisory Board? Are you willing to assist individuals and families so they may join or participate at the Y?  Click here to complete the Y Volunteer Leader Application (this application is for those that are interested in the Branch Advisory Board position, only) and submit to the branch of your choice electronically.

The Manatee County YMCA's success depends on our wonderful volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, contact the YMCA nearest you. Print a volunteer application now - and return to the branch of your choice. Need a Code of Conduct form, print it now!
