Associate Director of Healthy Living
"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."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"This is a good opportunity for high school/college students. Management opportunities are available; set yourself apart. Also, benefits are offered to anyone working over 20 per week (last I knew).
