Volunteer FAQs

You must be at least 15 years old or older to volunteer with us, with a signed permission slip from a parent or guardian if under the age of 18.
We require criminal background checks for all volunteers who interact on a regular basis with children. Volunteers will be responsible for getting a background check done on their own and bringing it to the ASYMCA before their first volunteering event with children.
We rely heavily on our volunteers and cannot run certain programs or events without the help of our dedicated volunteers. It is important, therefore, to ASYMCA and those we serve, that volunteers honor their commitment once they have signed up for an assignment.

Between all our programs and events, we have positions available every day of the week from 0800 to 1800.

Program and Event Volunteer Opportunities:

  • Father Daughter Dance
  • Golf Classic
  • Ball Gown Giveaway
  • Home Hospitality
  • Santa’s Workshop
  • Office Assistance
  • Operation Little Learners
  • Operation Hero
  • Pendleton Pantry
  • School of Infantry (SOI) Recreation Center
  • Summer Camps
  • Neighborhood Exchange
  • and more

Once you have completed your application and background check, and are activated as a current volunteer in our system, you can sign up for specified assignment openings on a first-come, first-served basis through Volgistics. All schedules are posted 3 months in advance and no sooner. Some positions will not have openings listed on the calendar but will coordinate a schedule with their department supervisor.

Each volunteer must use his/her Volgistics account to schedule themselves and report all hours served.

Volunteers are expected to report their hours served within 24 hours of the assignment date. All hours for a month must be entered by the end of the month for accurate tracking. Travel time, unless stated by the Volunteer Manager, is not a part of logged hours.

Volunteer orientations are held on an appointment basis. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator to schedule an appointment.
