Volunteer Opportunities Volunteer at the Bangor Y!
As a non-profit organization, the Bangor Y relies on our many volunteers to fill key positions throughout the organization. In 2007, the Bangor YMCA received tens of thousands of volunteer hours from thousands of volunteer opportunities with a value of nearly half a million dollars. Volunteers helped in various roles as board and committee members, mentors, youth sports coaches and officials, camp construction and clean-up crews, nurses and emergency professionals in rehab programs, fundraisers, workers at swim meets, architects, advertising professionals, engineers, lawyers and more. These donated services are the cogs that make our organization work. Thank you!
All of our program areas have a need for volunteers. Program Volunteers may include teen leaders, chaperones, readers for pre-schoolers, swim team, sports coaches and youth mentors. Volunteers are needed to execute special events and create successful fundraising campaigns.
Volunteering at the Y can be fun and rewarding! Teach a child to kick a ball, supervise teens in our game room, greet members and feel good about what you are doing.
Volunteer Application
Support Volunteers are behind the scenes mentoring youth, working in the offices, preparing mailings, planning and delivering events and maintaining facilities. Help us prepare a mailing, file paperwork, sort historical photos or be on a support committee. Inquire about Volunteer Opportunities at the Welcome Centers or call 941-2808 or 941-2815. It is Y policy to conduct a background check on all employees and volunteers.
We Need Mentors!
The JumpStart program needs volunteer mentors for each session. The commitment is one evening a week from 6:30-8pm for 8 weeks. Overseen by a facilitator, you will be paired with a youth during group program time only; sharing experiences, solving problems and assisting youth with goal setting and decision-making. Mentors must be 21 years of age. No experience is necessary. If you are interested in providing guidance and support for the youth of the Greater Bangor community, contact Tracy Souza, at 941-2808.
