Please reach out to us directly at (412) 315-0990. Safety & Onboarding Information For the safety of all our members, youth, and staff, we require volunteers to complete a few onboarding steps depending on the role. During your profile registration in VolunteerMatters, you will be asked to: Review and acknowledge the Volunteer Liability and Code of Conduct Waivers. For Specific Roles: Certain volunteer opportunities—particularly those working directly with youth or ongoing programs—may require obtaining background checks, references and completion of a brief (15-18 minute) online Child Abuse Prevention Training course through The Redwoods Group. ⚠️ Please Note: If your desired volunteer role requires a background check, please keep in mind that the processing time can take a bit of time to complete. These clearances must be fully approved prior to starting your service. Please allow 24–48 hours for your registration application to be reviewed. We look forward to welcoming you to the Thelma Lovette YMCA volunteer family!
