YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh

Volunteer with the Homewood-Brushton YMCA! Thank you so much for expressing interest in volunteering with the Baierl Family YMCA! Volunteers are the heart of our community, helping us deliver vital programs, foster connection, and make a lasting impact right here in our community. We have several ongoing and event-based opportunities throughout the year. Learn more about each opportunity by selecting them below! Don't see a program that matches your interests, or want to share a unique skill, talent, or special interest with us? We would love to hear from you! Please reach out to us directly at (412) 243-2900. 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. Complete a brief (15-18 minute) online Child Abuse Prevention Training course through The Redwoods Group. For Specific Roles: Certain volunteer opportunities—particularly those working directly with youth or ongoing programs—may require obtaining background checks and references. ⚠️ 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 Homewood-Brushton YMCA volunteer family!
