"I've worked for El Camino YMCA since 2012. We really are the best kept secret in town. We are so much more than a gym and a swim. Every year we work with our members, community and other partners to provide resources and opportunities for everyone to strive in. We give everyone the opportunity to participate and be a part of our organization even if they cannot pay. We don't turn anyone away for their inability to pay. I take pride in my work because I know I'm making a difference."

"I've worked with the YMCA of Orange County since 2018. I have a strong working relationship with my supervisor. The compensation is comparable to other Program Director jobs. The culture is friendly and my colleagues are very helpful. However, the workload can be overwhelming when resources are limited to get the job completed successfully."

YMCA Employee

"I’ve worked at the Hilltop YMCA for almost three years now. It’s a great community based organization with great members. It is not however the most organized or professionally run business. There is a lot of disconnect between staff and the Directors. It definitely needs more stability throughout the building."

Program Director

"I've worked for the Madison County YMCA since 2014 and wow, has it changed my life! Working for a nonprofit instills some of the most valuable qualities in us as humans. It teaches us more about our community than we ever thought was possible. The Madison County YMCA is a great place to work. There's friendly people, amazing members and so many perks - like a FREE gym membership to any YMCA in the US, one of the best retirement plans a nonprofit has to offer and so much more!"

Purchasing Coordinator

"I worked for the Greater Twin Cities YMCA as a purchasing coordinator for the summer of 2019. I have grown up attending and working for YMCA summer camps, and to be able to contribute to the mission and growth of the company as well as the youth that it impacts will never be forgotten. The office was a delight to come into every morning and hard to leave at the end of the day."

YMCA Employee

"The YMCA does incredible work for the Richmond area, and its surrounding communities. They are wonderful at coaching and training all those staff they deem worthy. If you aren't one of the favorites, though... you will struggle. There is a strong focus on Diversity and Inclusion, which is admirable in any organization. As is common in this new conversation, there is a long way yet to go, but I would still say the YMCA of Greater Richmond does more than most!"

Relationship Specialist

"I've worked for the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina for a little over three years. I value the Y's mission to help all people reach their potential in body, mind, and spirit. I love what the Y does to help the local community and the services we provide. Whether it is health and wellness related initiatives or donating backpacks, school supplies, and a new outfit to children in need for their first day of school, the Y is invested in helping the community."

YMCA Employee

"I've worked for the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis for the past 4 and a half years off and on throughout college. The job isn't exactly the most difficult or the job that I want to be doing, but I would recommend it someone trying to make some money during the summer or when they are trying to find a job after college. I wish I could say that the company retains it's employee's, but this is just not the case the turnover rate is higher than most. I've seen people come and go within the week and even just the day."
