Together, we make a difference.
Work less, explore more! Volunteering at YMCA of the Rockies is one of the best experiences you can give to yourself. Our volunteers are essential in supporting our Mission. In exchange for our volunteers’ time (minimum 6-week commitment), we make sure that all volunteers have ample time to enjoy everything we have to offer. For as little as 24-28 volunteer service hours per week (depending on season), volunteers receive free lodging, and meals, along with access to most activity benefits and facilities. We have a dazzling amount of volunteer opportunities that suit a variety of interests and skill levels. See what’s possible when you join the YMCA of the Rockies volunteer team.
