Do Something Good!

A great way to become involved with the YMCA beyond your membership is to become a volunteer. By doing so, your membership is transformed from a passport to facilities into a role in a small community where you make a real difference.

The YMCA recognizes volunteers as investments, as resources, as a support system, and as donors of valuable time, energy and talent. Through volunteering for your YMCA, you become connected in a deeper sense than when you casually joined. You become an advocate of the YMCA's broad work and purpose.

You may not realize it, but every day something happens at your YMCA that changes and enriches a person's life. They may seem like small things, but they add up. The YMCA mission comes alive through volunteers, committed to giving back some of what
the Y has given them.

Here are just a few of the ways you can volunteer and impact the lives of others through
the Kenosha YMCA:

  • Youth Sports Coach
  • Member Service Volunteer
  • Special Events Volunteer
  • Miracle League Buddy

Applying to be a Program Volunteer

Volunteers are critically important to carrying out our mission, so we ask our program volunteers to go through an application and screening process similar to that of our paid staff members. This process ensures that the best fit is made between the new volunteer and the program they are matched with, while also ensuring the safety of our members, participants, staff and all of our volunteers.

Before starting a volunteer assignment with the YMCA, a staff member will walk you through the following steps of our application process:

  • Volunteer Application: Volunteers provide background and contact information including an identification check.
  • Reference Checks: We complete two reference checks on each of our new volunteers.
  • Interview: YMCA staff members and prospective volunteers ask questions of each other to make sure that the best possible match is made.
