Be The Change!

Volunteer and make a difference!

Here at the Sonoma County Family YMCA, we recognize that, when you volunteer, you help our community grow stronger.  When you give back to the Y, you empower people and communities to learn, grow and thrive.

Over the past years, thousands of children have been served through the Y’s afterschool, childcare and youth sports programs and thousands more adults were given opportunities to lead healthier lives through the Y’s wide range of fitness programs. This is only possible because of the generous support of donors and volunteers who offer their time in order to uplift the community in which they live. We truly are STRONGER TOGETHER!

Are YOU ready to make an impact in your community? The Sonoma County Family YMCA offers an array of volunteer opportunities and is always eager to accept new volunteers! For more information please click on the links below or email makeanimpact@scfymca.org.
