Volunteering can be rewarding and provide personal growth opportunities and health benefits.
When you give, either monetarily or of your time, you’re investing in a future we build together. Support our mission and fuel real action through programs, resources, and advocacy that matters.
WYA is always welcoming new volunteers. Whether you are a parent, community leader, or retiree, we can use your skills and talents. Are you a retiree or a stay-at-home parent that has some extra time on your hands and would like to give back to your community? Would you like to make new friends while trying something new? We can use YOU! We can use your talents. Leadership and committee work opportunities exist.
If you are unable to volunteer, consider making a donation to WYA. Being a donor means you are partnering with us in support of Waterford children and families. Donations can be made in person at our office, or you can click on the icon below for your no fee, tax-free online donation through WYA’s Paypal GivingFund.

Volunteering with WYA is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of youth and families.
