The Value of Volunteers
Volunteers have an important role in the provision of services at the YWCA. The development of present day services is due largely to the work of volunteers. Volunteer involvement continues to be crucial to the operation of all programs, and the organization’s ability to provide services is enhanced significantly through the contributions of volunteers. Never doubt the significance of your contributions to the organization!
The Role of Volunteers
Volunteers will provide both program and administrative support. Recognizing that in today’s climate volunteers increasingly expect to be included in meaningful work that is clearly focused on the organization’s mission, the board and paid staff will endeavor to include volunteers in program work wherever possible.

Court-Ordered Community Service
Individuals can fulfill court-ordered community service requirements at the YWCA. Individuals must be at least 13 years of age to complete court-ordered community service. Please note that the YWCA staff always reserves the right to deny or discontinue working with any volunteer. Also, the YWCA is not able to work with those who have committed most felonies or any violent crimes. In that case, the court that ordered community service should be able to help you find placement.
Special Projects?
If there is a specific project which an individual or group would like to complete for the YWCA, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator for more information.
