Volunteer

The YMCA was founded on a simple but powerful idea: bringing neighbors together to advance the common good, we can improve lives and strengthen communities. That idea came to life 170 years ago when George Williams convened 11 volunteers to improve the lives of young men struggling to overcome the challenges of life in industrialized London.

Volunteers are the most vital and irreplaceable element of the Y. In short, we simply cannot create such a lasting and meaningful impact in Saginaw without you!

Volunteer Opportunities

Mission Nutrition

As a Cause Driven organization the YMCA of Saginaw supports our community in many ways.  Our Mission Nutrition Youth Feeding program offers year round access to healthy meals and snacks to kids under age 18.  The program is currently looking for volunteers to assist with food preparation and distribution.  Times are flexible.  Just a couple hours a week will make a lasting impact on the youth of Saginaw county.

Saginaw Swims

Teaching children how to swim and to be safe around water is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Accidental drowning is the number two cause of death for youth in the United States. We’re looking for extra eyes for our lifeguards. Join the Fun in or around the pool!
