The Y is a charity–in fact we’re Vancouver’s oldest charity–and we’ve been building community in Vancouver since 1868. Our Annual Campaign volunteers are essential in helping us achieve our mission–a community where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.  Our volunteers take on several different roles, from raising awareness in the community about the YMCA to helping with fun events to going out and raising funds.
