Volunteers

"Volunteering is wonderful and fulfilling. When everyone has a common purpose, you are elevated to a higher conciseness that can overtake you."

~ John Zeiter, YMUW Leader

Volunteers Prep Lunch For The Young Men Serving others, without ego gratification, for the purpose of fulfilling our innate need to connect with others in a meaningful way, is fundamental for the success of any community. People universally report a rush of good feeling, euphoria and a long-lasting sense of emotional well-being when they volunteer. We have been most fortunate to fulfill our Mission and it’s objectives because of the dedication and outstanding efforts of our volunteers.

We have been joined in our mission by teachers, coaches, youth counselors, therapists, parents, young men, an advisory board of male experts, and people from all walks of life who recognize that today's young adults are tomorrow's leaders. Working together has accelerated all of us in our emotional and spiritual maturity.

YMUW welcomes new volunteers. We always place our volunteers in the areas that they choose to focus their endeavors, including:

Office Staff
Fundraising
Public Relations
Community Outreach
Program Development
Volunteer Coordination
Site Procurement (Permanent home for YMUW events)

You are welcome to contact us for more information about serving with us.

"My experience volunteering for YMUW has had a direct and profound impact on my relationship with my son, Erik. After completing the YMUW, Erik was excited to bring the RIGHT Way into all aspects of his life. Volunteering at the Cut Loose Fundraising Concert gave me the opportunity to take an active role in what was important to Erik. Not only I was able to support YMUW by sharing our experience with other people, he and I shared the responsibility of volunteering - working together to build a plan of action and executing it. We also cemented the commitment we have to each other and we continue to build on the bond we created that evening."

"It was an honor to spend this last weekend listening, learning, watching, and helping the young men. As important, was the great masculine relationships that came from this event. I was very honored to be a part of this event, and would like to thank every man and young man."

"As a volunteer, serving the YMUW Board of Directors, it is refreshing to see men in this culture (or in today's world) that go beyond sacrificing their time and energy, but fully engage in improving the lives of young men. This is no lip service; it is a day to day embrace through the RIGHT way.

In the two years, serving as secretary to the YMUW Board, I have witnessed first hand the remarkable growth and change not only in the board members, including myself. The greatest gift of all is see the young men move forward - out of the adolescence and into the world as productive, accountable, compassionate and respectful young men towards themselves, their families and peers."
