Current Volunteer Opportunities
(Last updated October 8 2020)
NEW! Rapid Response Volunteer Team
Our Y frequently receives large donations of food & necessities to distribute to people in need. These opportunities are often last minute and require volunteers to help us unload and distribute these donations, which are sometimes heavy boxes. These opportunities are a lot of fun and a great way to ease the burden on our staff!
If you would like to be included on a mailing list with these opportunities, please choose “Rapid Response Volunteer” in the Volunteer Interest Form.
Property Help- Peabody/ Torigian Family YMCA
Great for groups! If you are looking to get outside, and are generally handy, our Torigian Family YMCA could use assistance in property clean-up & winterizing. Property & Camp Clean Up includes raking & removing trash, leaves, & branches. Our Sheds & Garden also need winterizing to help get them through the snow! To sign up: Email Chris Rollins directly.
Mailing & Administration Volunteer
Help our marketing & development efforts with stuffing envelopes and supporting direct mail efforts, and other similar administrative tasks. This could also be an internship opportunity for local college students looking to learn more about nonprofits! To sign up, email Laura Chadwell directly.
Support our Little Necessities Pantry in Lynn!
The Little Necessities Pantry collects and distributes diapers, wipes, formula, and baby food for families in need. Coordinate a Diaper Drive and bring Diapers, Wipes & Formula to the Lynn YMCA for distribution.
We recognize that your skills and interests might be suited for something different. Please reach out to us and let us know how you would like to support the YMCA.
