All month long, the YMCA of Western North Carolina is celebrating the neighbors who power their mission.

Volunteers make a lasting impact across WNC; Whether giving time or leading change, volunteers help build a stronger, healthier community.

There are two ways to get involved:

  • Join Togetherhood, the YMCA’s member-led initiative | Address local needs from cleanups to home builds
  • Volunteer at your local Y | Coach youth sports, teach kids to swim, become a youth mentor, distribute fresh produce + more
