Volunteer with the YMCA
What makes the YMCA such a special place for volunteers? Ask around, and you’ll likely hear lots of different answers. But you’ll also hear one common thread in all of them: Our people.
When you volunteer at the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis, you have the opportunity to join an amazing family.
The YMCA family is about community members who are dedicated to making a meaningful and positive impact in the lives of others. Sometimes it involves sacrificial giving and sharing of your time, talents and resources so our communities are stronger and healthier.
We can’t begin to thank all of our volunteers for their tireless work to help carry out the YMCA’s mission within our community. Here you will find volunteer opportunities throughout our association.
Volunteer Opportunities
Each year, many of our Centers give back to children in the community through our “Breakfast with Santa” events. These events would not be possible without the help of volunteers like you.

Did you Know?
Many companies are proud to support organizations like the YMCA which are doing great work in the community. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, but some will even double or triple the amount of your charitable gift!
If you volunteer with us, your company may also offer a volunteer grant program.
