Why Volunteer at the Guelph Y?

The Y, like most charities, was started and run by volunteers. Today, across North America, on average there are nine volunteers for every paid staff. Under the leadership of those pioneering volunteers, the Y evolved as a member-based organization where membership is open and available to all, and the Y always provides financial assistance to those in need.

Volunteering at the Guelph Y is a fun and rewarding way to give to the community while developing your skills, networking, and earning volunteer hours to fulfill a requirement.

We encourage our volunteers to grow with us, and offer ongoing training and development, as well as practical experience working with preschoolers, youth, teens, adults and older adults in a variety of settings.

Requirements to Volunteer at the Y

The following requirements are mandatory for all Volunteers of the Guelph Y:

  • Up to date Standard First Aid and CPR C certification is required for all volunteer positions within the first three months of joining our team
  • A successful Police Records Check (Vulnerable Sector) is required for all volunteer positions
  • YMCA Online Child Protection Policy training must be completed by all new volunteers immediately upon successful hire
  • Please note that some departments may have more requirements related to specific volunteer positions which will be listed on each individual volunteer posting

Application Process

  1. Please fill out the Volunteer Application Form
  2. Upload your cover letter and resume to the application form and press submit.
