Jobs

Welcome 2026 with a new opportunity on our team at the Y!

Meet with regional recruiters and local branch leaders to learn more about a wide range of positions, from immediate needs to seasonal openings with programs like our summer day camps.  

We're coming to Y near you in January and look forward to connecting with future teammates! Find a recruiting event.

The Y is more than a job. It is a place where we all belong. We know that you'll find out why the Y is a community for a lifetime.

Our YMCA is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen our community. Our Mission compels us to embrace, reflect and celebrate the richness of diversity within each other and the many communities we serve. In that Christian principles are caring and inclusive, we are respectful of various expressions of faith and serve families and individuals from all traditions, backgrounds and perspectives.

You must be 16 years old to work for the YMCA.

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.

Retirement plans for all full and eligible part-time staff. Health insurance and paid time off for full-time employees. 

The Y.  A Community for a Lifetime.

At the Y, we do good.

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 the country and ensuring all belong is essential to our organization.

We believe our employees are our most valuable assets in our efforts to further our Mission and advance our Purpose.

To emphasize our commitment to a diverse and inclusive environment, we encourage our employees to participate in our Employee Resource Groups. These employee-led groups provide a space for people to network, mentor one another, share their knowledge and experiences, participate in personal and professional development, enhance their leadership skills, inform strategic decisions and provide consultation when needed—all while building meaningful connections across our YMCA.
