Once you have been selected, please use this page to register for the role and complete your prerequisite onboarding. One of our main priorities of the Y-2025 Strategic Plan, People are the Why, focuses on connecting Y staff, volunteers, and members with opportunities and experiences for individuals to create positive change in our community. The time you spend as a volunteer is a vital and important part of meeting this priority. As part of the YMCA of Metro Atlanta’s commitment to the safety and well-being of children, teens, and vulnerable adults, we are aligned with Praesidium Accreditation—a rigorous certification confirming we meet the highest standards for abuse prevention. Camp volunteers are considered High Access Volunteers under Praesidium Standards, meaning you volunteer regularly with the Y and have access to youth/vulnerable adults. Depending on your role, you may be entrusted to conduct Y volunteer work independent of Y staff. To meet accreditation requirements, all High Access Volunteers must complete an interview, a reference check, and Youth & Teen Safety Onboarding prior to beginning their volunteer role with the Y. This onboarding includes four required steps in Volunteer Matters: Volunteer Waiver Youth & Teen Safety Policy acknowledgment Background Check Youth & Teen Safety Training (E-learning) Completing these steps is essential to achieving accreditation and reinforcing the Y’s culture of safety. Thank you for your commitment to making the YMCA a safe, supportive place for all.
