The mission of MAYC is to develop, support and encourage youth in the community for lifelong success and this is only possible with the help and support of the community. MAYC has been around for 27 years because of the amazing community support!
We have multiple volunteer opportunities – each with varying levels of responsibility and commitment. We welcome community members to explore our opportunities and help wherever they are able. If you are unable to volunteer time, please consider a monetary donation to MAYC. Volunteers working with youth will require a background check.
For more information – or to get started – please contact us at director@mahometyouth.org or leave a voicemail 217-586-6323.
Drop off your aluminum cans at MAYC for recycling. The can recycling dumpster is located in the MAYC parking lot at 700 W. Main Street in Mahomet. All cans will be recycled and donations come back to programming!
As a Youth Program Volunteer you will work directly with youth during our annual programs. This can include providing a guided activity like a STEM, craft or games, service learning projects, and more! It can also be in a supportive role helping assist MAYC staff in daily programs.
Committee Volunteers help us with work that ensures our facilities are safe and that our two fundraisers – MAYC Auction and MAYC Half Marathon – are successful.
The MAYC Board of Directors helps guide us in our mission, continued growth and sustainability. 1, 2, and 3 year terms available.
