At the Y, we are all about relationship building and being a welcoming and inclusive space! The Welcome Center Volunteer, working as part of the Membership Service Team, delivers customer service and relationship building skills to help create that welcoming environment at the Y. They also provide information to guests, such as: memberships, programs, activities, special events, etc. to assist with the attraction and retention of members. If you are as passionate about the Y as we are, this is the opportunity for you!

About YMCA of Metropolitan Denver
Location:
2625 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80016, US
Mission Statement
At the YMCA, we recognize that it takes a village to raise strong, confident children. To help make a positive difference in the lives of both parents and kids, the YMCA leads the free Reach & Rise Therapeutic Group Mentoring Program. Through this program, children and teens ages 8 to 15 take part in weekly group activities with other kids and with positive adult role models in a supportive and fun environment.
Description
In the program, two adult mentors are matched with a group of 6 youth mentees once a week for two hours. Mentors serve as role models, friends, and confidants - all an additional source of support for children.
Together, the groups meet at assigned sites, such as YMCA branches, schools, or community centers, and take part in sports, community service programs, and games. They also discuss and do role-playing about issues and events going on in their lives.
There are two program cycles: An 8-week session that meets in the summer, and a 16-week session that meets in the fall and spring. Mentors follow a YMCA group mentoring handbook, and the program director and families convene monthly to make sure each child’s goals are being met.
