Our volunteers make a direct, lasting impact on our community.

On average, we serve 5,000 youth members from 191 communities annually. We address issues such as food insecurity, educational inequity, social-emotional resilience, and overall health and wellness. In 2020, we served over 35,000 free meals to our community, offered emergent childcare, and launched virtual tutoring programs in partnership with Colby College to address learning loss. Quite literally none of this would be possible without our dedicated volunteers.

Members with disabilities feel welcome and are routinely included in, and feel a part of, all activities, opportunities and functions.

 

Unified Activities

Volunteers are the backbone of this program.  By implementing inclusive sports, youth leadership opportunities, and whole facility engagement, the Unified Champion Program will create meaningful change in creating a socially inclusive community that supports and engages all learners.

The Unified Champion Club participates in a number of activities throughout the year, including arts & crafts, boxfit, softball, swimming, softball, volleyball, bocce ball, basketball, and more!

WHY DO OUR VOLUNTEERS

SERVE AT THE AYCC?

I am volunteering because I believe that all children should have access to good and healthy food. I also believe that they should have the knowledge about how their food is grown and be able to learn more about where food comes from. Many children do not have access to organic foods and I think this is an issue that needs to be developed and worked on.
