Are you a high school student who is struggling to finish your mandatory volunteer hours?
Well fear not, because the YMCA of Greater Toronto can help!
We have partnered with Get Your Hours, which is a website that connects students with charities, matches them with opportunities based on their interests and allows students to track their hours and print forms online.
Get Your Hours was founded by Christiane MacKenzie, who was inspired by her younger brother who needed help getting his volunteer hours. Christiane recognized that many students do not have a clue where to volunteer, so she decided to make the process easier for students.
Read the information below, or visit our profile page on the Get Your Hours website, to find out how to volunteer at the Y.
Opportunites offered:
The YMCA offers a variety of volunteer positions for youth in health and fitness, child and family development or employment and community. The positions vary based on the skill set of the person, as well as the need in the centre at that time. Some examples of positions include:

- Locker Room Attendant
- Exercise instructor

Time commitment:
Each volunteer role is unique and requires a different time commitment. In addition, our programs and locations have different hours of operation. Once we receive your application, our staff will connect with you to discuss what each volunteer role entails.
