2023 YMCA Ambassador Program
Do you love the Y? Do you love fitness classes and know the schedule like the back of your hand? If so, you might be a great fit for our new ambassador program.
The YMCA Ambassador Program, launched in 2023, is a volunteer program that aims
to build community within our Ys. Ambassadors — basically the Y “spirit committee” — welcome new members to classes, help them get set up for class and answer questions. Ambassadors work directly with health and fitness directors
at each Y.
You might make a great ambassador if you are:
- Kind and inclusive
- Enthusiastic about the Y
- Familiar with class schedules and offerings
- Bilingual (a plus but not required)
New ambassadors will go through either a one-on-one or group orientation with a health and fitness director. During that session, they will receive an ambassador T-shirt, job descriptions and a starter
kit of supplies.
Once you begin your work as a Y ambassador, we encourage you to wear your T-shirt any day. When members see your shirt, they’ll know you are on duty. Ambassadors also participate in monthly coffees with your
Y’s leadership staff to get support, ask questions and get important updates.
Any members over the age of 18 may serve as an ambassador, and you can volunteer as much or as little as you like. You can even take classes on days
when you are an ambassador.
Interested in becoming an ambassador? Register here and you’ll be contacted by our health and fitness director with more information on the next orientation.
