The Scott County Family Y only exists because of volunteers.  Look in just about every facet of our organization and there will most certainly be a volunteer who helped make something happen. From our corporate board of directors filled with volunteer community leaders to our branch advisory boards, to some of our most committed attendants in the cross training centers, volunteers are what make our world go. 

We encourage anyone interested in volunteering to download an application and bring it to their home branch. We will take advantage of any skills or preferences that you can offer.

Y SERVICE CLUBS ARE WORKING FOR A BETTER INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCH AS:

  • The Brotherhood Fund, enabling members to travel and visit Y's Men and Y's Women families in far away countries.
  • The International Brother Club program which makes it possible for club members to learn about people in other parts of the world through exchange of letters, slides, tapes, visits, etc.
  • The Youth Education Exchange Program, (YEEP) where youth, are given a possibility to study, live and travel for one year in a foreign country, living as a member of a Y's Men & Y's Women family.
  • The Short Term Exchange Program (STEP) where children and grandchildren of Y's Men and Y's Women  between the ages of 15 to 25 stay with a Y's Men & Y's Women family from 3 to 11 weeks. 
  • The "Time of Fast" is an international project, in which money is raised basically through asking each member to fast one or several meals during a specific month (usually February) and contribute the money thus saved to the "Time of Fast" fund.
