Volunteer opportunities in Midcoast Maine

YOU MAKE MORE POSSIBLE

Volunteers are at the heart of the YMCA mission. For more than 150 years, volunteers have helped strengthen communities, support families, and create opportunities for people of all ages to learn, grow, and thrive. At the Penobscot Bay YMCA, volunteers make a meaningful difference right here in our Midcoast community. Whether you have one day to give or are looking for an ongoing opportunity to serve, we’d love to connect with you.

Why volunteer?

When you volunteer with the Y, you help create a stronger, healthier, more connected community. Volunteer opportunities may include youth programs and coaching, special events and races, community outreach initiatives, family activities, administrative support, seasonal programs, and mentoring opportunities.
