Volunteering is a powerful force for change, both for those who volunteer and for the wider community.  At the Aberdeen YMCA it is our earnest prayer that an army of volunteers can be raised up to reach out to children, youth, families and the wider community through a varied programme which develops people in body, mind and spirit. 

Volunteers are the most valued part of the mission work of Aberdeen YMCA and we rely on them for so many things.  In this section of our website you will find information about serving as a volunteer with Aberdeen YMCA and the exciting opportunities there are for making a difference in the lives of others.
