Volunteer at the Y

Make an Impact & Volunteer

Become a part of something bigger than yourself. Volunteers play a significant and positive role at the Y and can have a broad impact on our organization, programs, and communities. YOU can make a difference! Whether you have three hours, six days or eight weeks to share, your time, enthusiasm, and talents can be impactful. Opportunities are available for individual volunteers, groups seeking a shared experience, and corporate employees wanting to utilize employer-paid volunteer time. Did you know that many companies also offer volunteer grant programs, matching the hours you spend volunteering with a financial donation to the nonprofit of your choice?

We welcome all types of volunteers hoping to make a difference in their community. With branches and summer camps in Manchester, Goffstown, Concord, Londonderry, Somersworth, Portsmouth, Alton, Strafford and beyond, there’s bound to be a meaningful volunteer experience near you.
