Volunteer
Volunteers are essential to the success of the Sarasota Family YMCA and are key to fulfilling our mission of building strong communities.
Volunteering demonstrates caring for others and offers the opportunity to improve the lives of children and families, creating a caring society. By giving your time with the YMCA to benefit others, you have the opportunity to build new relationships, learn and grow while having fun.
Volunteers contribute in many ways. Volunteers have helped The Sarasota Family YMCA by:
- Helping children become better readers
- Assisting with our Annual Bridge Run or Siesta Key Triathlon
- Assisting with annual fundraisers
- Organizing donated clothing for foster care children
- Refereeing and coaching Youth Sports
- Tutoring at a residential home
- Being compassionate and aware
- First, review the positions below for something that meets your interest, then complete the inquiry form.
- Your request will be sent to the program director, who will contact you to tell you more about the program and learn about your desire to help.
- Once accepted to volunteer with a program, you will be required to complete a background screening, which may include fingerprinting.
