Get Involved! Be a Volunteer
You can help out anywhere. But you belong at the YMCA.
As a YMCA volunteer, you can lead an exercise class, read to a preschool class, coach a basketball team, cook for a bake sale, design a program brochure, greet people at the Welcome Center, find items for an auction, serve as a role model for young people, help out in the office or at a special event, or be part of a group or committee working on a neighborhood problem.
No matter how you help, you’ll make a big difference as you work with others to create a feeling of connectedness in your community. Talk with any member of the Freeman Family YMCA family about ways you can volunteer.
Become a Donor
Thank you to all of you who contributed to the 2008 Annual Strong Kids Campaign. If you have not contributed yet, but wish to do so, it is not too late. In 2008, the Strong Kids Campaign raised over $107,000 in financial assistance funds to assure that no one is turned away from a YMCA program because they can’t afford to pay.
We count on our members and generous donors to help kids and families who may otherwise not be able to participate in programs like day camp and preschool. With donations, the Freeman Southwest Family YMCA is able to provide kids with life-enriching activities and programs that may not exist for them otherwise. Our lives will always be measured by the lives we touch. Your contribution of time or financial support is greatly appreicated.

Become an Employee
YMCAs build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. So, naturally, Ys seek employees who exhibit the values behind the mission (caring, honesty, respect and responsibility), who enjoy people and want to make a difference.
The YMCA has long been synonymous with high standards and values in a supportive team environment. Those who work at the Y will find the company itself offers employees a generous wage and benefits package, and, depending on employment status and tenure, such benefits as health and dental insurance, disability and life insurance, funded retirement plan, time off and discounted program fees, including childcare. Flexible work schedules and free YMCA memberships help keep the whole family fit.
Discover the YMCA as a place to build a rewarding career and an enriched life. The YMCA is an equal opportunity employer.
