Being a non-profit organization, entirely run by volunteers, GYO is truly what you make it. We have plenty of opportunities throughout the year where you can volunteer to help our organization.

We offer various volunteer roles for each GYO activity. Parents are encouraged to be the coach or assistant coach for baseball, softball, t-ball, soccer, and basketball teams. During the baseball/softball season, we also need dugout managers and score keepers for each team.

Another great way to volunteer is by working a shift in the snack shack. The snack shack is great for two reasons: first, it's convenient for families on the run to have a place to get some food, drinks, or snacks. Second, proceeds from the snack shack benefit GYO! We also encourage families to donate a crock pot dish or baked item to the snack shack when it's open during games. For more information about the snack shack, click here.

Throughout the year, we have fundraising events that require many volunteers.

Since we are also in charge of GYO Park maintenance and improvement, we are always looking for folks who are willing to help us maintain the fields, and also help us with special projects when they arise. In 2018-2019, we are striving to purchase and install a playground - if you have time, skills, or equipment to donate to help us with this project, please contact us.
