The Y is a leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community by connecting all people to their potential, purpose and each other. Working locally, we focus on empowering young people, improving health and well-being, and inspiring action in and across communities. Being a part of the Y means so much more than participating in our programs and services. The Y is not a building or a place; it’s a movement of people united in our work to strengthen communities. As a nonprofit committed to helping all of us be our best selves, the Y has a history of stepping up when our neighbors need us. Despite unprecedented and difficult circumstances, we are working tirelessly to reimagine our branches and pivot our programming to support our community’s most urgent needs and long-term well-being. We are proud of the way our Y has expanded to serve and invite our community to join us as volunteers to help support our efforts. When you give to the YMCA Annual Campaign, you help create opportunities for all by sustaining our critical work and giving every child the chance to reach their full potential. Volunteer opportunities available for ages 12 and up, email volunteer@ymcacharlotte.org for more information.
