Early Childhood Volunteer Opportunities at the YMCA

We’re looking for volunteers to join our Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC), where infants, toddlers, and preschoolers learn and grow through play year-round. Volunteers help support that learning by engaging with children—playing, talking, reading stories, and assisting during activities like mealtimes. By joining in, you’ll help spark curiosity, build connections, and encourage early learning in a fun, hands-on environment.
If you enjoy working with young children ages 0–5 and like being part of playful, meaningful moments, we’d love to have you! Minimum age to volunteer is 13.
Location/Program Sites: Essentia Wellness Center (Hermantown)
Days & Times: Volunteer shifts are available between 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
