"The YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit is a cause-driven not for profit organization which bases its services based on the community needs. The YMCA focuses on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility to the community it serves. It is great to be a part of this cause and know that the organization you work for is making continuous positive changes to the community. This not only motivates you as an employee but also strengthens everyone in the community."

"I worked in HR at Ymca of Delaware for 13 years. The employees are amazing and many of them are focused solely on making the community better. Some recent events have led to an exodus of top executives which may turn out to be a positive thing. When the Y is true to its own creed, it’s a wonderful place to work."

Engagement Specialist

"I worked with YMCA for about a year or so. Working there I built some great relationships with the staff as well as the guests who came in to work out on a regular basis. The chemistry in the office was great, the staff were very helpful. My supervisor was a great leader and mentor on the job. Even on his days off he checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly and to answer any questions I may have had. I would recommend this position to college students looking for a job that isn't too demanding while in school."

"Working at the YMCA was a fun and rewarding environment to be a part of. YMCA has a great company statement with a focus on safety, health, social growth and academic enhancement.

"Very keen on outdoor activities. Value youth over experience, in a fast paced setting. Ample marine life observation capabilities, but focuses more on water sports than marine life. Beautiful setting, located on 280 acres of wooded land in remote area of Washington State."

"I have worked for the Anaheim Family YMCA for a total of two years between 2016 and 2020. I have gained knowledge in working with at-risk youth and vulnerable families. Working here has been a great experience because the directors and supervisors here want their staff to learn as much as possible and be successful role models for the youth we serve."
