Are you interested in a student placement?

Applicants interested in a student placement are asked to contact staff at one of our locations directly to see if there are any opportunities available. A list of all of our program sites and locations can be found here.

Are you interested in a volunteer opportunity for your group?

Group Volunteers are people who represent a corporate or community organization and want to work with the YMCA to build communities which will be home to the healthiest children, teens and young adults. In order for your group to be matched with a suitable Group Volunteer project, please email volunteering@ymcagta.org with the subject line “I Want to Know More About Group Volunteering”.
