Macdonald Youth Services (MYS) values individuals who give of their time and talent in many ways. MYS divides its volunteers into four groups:
- Agency volunteers either work directly with clients of MYS or have a regular, recurring presence at Macdonald Youth Services. These volunteers may be working as mentors or providing training in their field of expertise.
- External relations volunteers are volunteers who contributes his or her time to short-term, task-focused programs or projects that do not involve working directly with clients of MYS. In particular, these volunteers may be assisting in the planning of events or other fundraising efforts.
- Virtual volunteers are volunteers who work on projects and complete tasks, in whole or in part, entirely on a computer via the Internet. Some of the tasks may include graphic design or video editing.
- Board members are a special category of volunteer and are nominated to the Board by a committee. They have duties and responsibilities outlined as part of the By Laws.
