Volunteer at the Van Buren Center!
IMPORTANT UPDATES TO THE
VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP PROCESS:
Effective May 1, 2025, all volunteer sign-ups for the Van Buren Center will transition to the YMCA Volunteer Matters platform, and we will no longer utilize Sign Up Genius for sign-ups.
On Monday, April 28th, all volunteer slots on Sign-Up Genius will be locked, and you will be unable to sign up for new shifts until the sign-up pages go live on May 1st. We encourage volunteers to create their accounts now in Volunteer Matters so that they are ready to sign up when the transition happens.
Click HERE to complete the process now.
