Get Involved: Volunteer At The Gig Harbor Family YMCA

 Who is a YMCA Volunteer?

YMCA volunteers are our group exercise instructors. They coach youth sports teams and teach children and adults live-saving swim skills. Still, others work in our offices and support the Strong Kids Campaign. No matter how volunteers help, they make a big difference as they work with others to create a feeling of connectedness in your community.

YMCA volunteers are an integral part of Youth Development, Healthy Living and
Social Responsibility.
