Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the YMCA of North Central Ohio! Volunteers are vital to the YMCA. Without them, we wouldn't be able to meet the needs of the kids, families, and adults who live in Richland County.
​
At the YMCA, we know that your time and talent are precious, and we want every minute you spend with us to be worthwhile. That's why we're asking you to take a few minutes to fill out this application. It will help us begin to make the right match between your skills and interests and the opportunities available.
You will find questions on this form that are required to do a background check (background checks are FREE of charge). We hope you'll understand that, unfortunately, there are a few people who apply for volunteer jobs at the YMCA for the wrong reasons. The YMCA, however, makes an active effort to prevent abuse. So, even though we may know you well, we reserve the right to conduct background on all volunteers. It's just one of the many ways we help protect children and other vulnerable people the YMCA serves. Thanks for your cooperation in this effort.
