Youth Staff

You’re creative, think on your feet and truly like kids. You're a math whiz, you’ve read Percy Jackson and Harry Potter and remember the feeling of accomplishment the first time you won at four square. Take that knowledge and be a role model for the next generation.

Membership Staff

Talking with people is your thing. You’re open, friendly and like helping people. Whether it’s selling a YMCA membership, warmly greeting YMCA members or giving a building tour, you talk with a smile and make people feel welcome. And you know your way around technology too.

Pool Staff

You’re practically a dolphin. You can swim 200 yards like a champ, you’re at least 16, and you actually like that pool/sunscreen scent. Maybe you even like teaching others how to swim. YMCA guards are the best in the business. Seriously.

The Benefits of Working with the YMCA

There are many, but here are our four favorite ones. 

All staff receive an individual free YMCA membership as part of their benefits. 

We offer continuous training as well as national YMCA leader certification and education in your chosen field.

YMCAs are open seven days a week, so there is a flexible work time and schedule for everyone.

Community is plural.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion creates better individuals, a better community and a better world.

We firmly believe the key to effectively nurturing the potential of children, improving the community's health and well-being, and supporting our neighbors is a passionate, experienced and diverse group of staff.

We work across seven counties in one of the fastest-growing areas in our country and strong inclusion and diversity practices are essential to our organization.
