2025 YMCA Giving Tree Volunteers

YMCA of the Northern Sky

Join the elf squad as we help get ready to spread joy for more than 1,600 children this Christmas! You'll be an elf in Santa's workshop, sorting and filling wish lists for kids in need. This includes checking off gifts as they come in, helping to fill gifts that need a little extra, organizing gifts as they are ready to be picked up at Gift Pick-up Days, and helping to distribute gifts to families as they come to pick up their gifts on our Gift Pick-up Days! While our minimum volunteer age requirement to volunteer alone is 16 years of age, children ages 7-15 are welcome to volunteer alongside a parent or guardian. Parents and Guardians, please register and email abrown@ymcanorthernsky.org if your children will be volunteering with you! Thank you!

Volunteers may be asked to lift or carry gifts and will be moving a lot. We ask that you use safe lifting practices, ask for help when needed, and wear comfortable clothing and shoes. If you are not comfortable lifting or carrying items, please let our team know prior to beginning your volunteer experience.

Please let us know 24 hours prior if you are no longer able to make it.
