Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering at the YMCA
From the first moment you become a YMCA member, you have an opportunity to effect the Indianapolis community. But if you'd ever like to become more directly involved, consider becoming a YMCA volunteer. We have opportunities to suit your interests, talents, and lifestyle.

If you are ready to become a Y volunteer, download the Volunteer ApplicationAdobe Acrobat Reader or complete the Volunteer Contact Form to be connected with the Volunteer Champion at the YMCA branch of your choice. Click here for a listing of local YMCA branches.

HELP OUT WITH OUR BREAKFAST WITH SANTA
We are hosting our breakfast with Santa on December 13th for some of the shelters in our area. We are looking for volunteers to purchase presents, wrap presents and help out the day of the event. You can also donate money to help purchase presents.

Please contact Brandi Crabtree at bcrabtree@indymca.org or Angie Boarman at aboarman@indymca.org for more information. Both can be reached at 317-685-9705 as well.
