Volunteer at the Y

When you volunteer at the YMCA of Metropolitan Lansing, you provide leadership and talent that are vital to empowering people and communities to learn, grow and thrive. Across Lansing, thousands of business leaders, community advocates, parents, teens and individuals who want to give back and support their neighbors volunteer at the YMCA. That’s because in our community we have the presence and partnerships to both promise and deliver positive, personal and social change. It is only through the support of our many volunteers and donors that we are able to give back to our communities. When you volunteer at the Y, you take an active role in bringing about meaningful change in your community. With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, YMCA volunteers give men, women and children of all ages and from all walks of life the resources and support they need to be healthy, confident, connected and secure.
