Current Employment Openings

The Y Experience – The Y Experience is built from our mission and encompasses the values and philosophy by which we serve and operate

Believing that people deserve the best, YMCAs offer competitive wage and benefit packages for full and part time employees. Please note that benefits vary depending on position and employment status:

  • Health & dental insurance
  • Disability and life insurance
  • Funded retirement plan
  • Flexible work schedule
  • Free YMCA membership
  • Discounted program fees, including childcare
  • Paid time off and holidays

Requirements

  • Must have reliable transportation
  • Must obtain CPR Pro, AED, Oxygen Administration and First Aid certifications within the first 30 days of employment.  Certification paid for by the YMCA.

One of the primary benefits of working for a YMCA is that you will be enrolled in the Retirement Plan, the pension program for almost all YMCAs in the United States. In the course of your YMCA career, if you move from one YMCA to another, your retirement savings move with you because they are always at the YMCA Retirement Fund. Over time, contributions, combined with the interest earned, can help you build a nest egg for the future and plan for a comfortable retirement.
