A Wealth of Opportunities
Health and wellness have always been integral parts of the YMCA’s mission. But just as important is the vast array of other services and activities we provide, such as job training, community development, support for older adults, and arts and humanities programming. YMCAs are also the largest providers of child care in the United States. On a broader scale, YMCA staff meet regularly with local and national government leaders to influence public policy related to the health and well-being of kids, families and communities. At the international level, the YMCA movement extends to more than 120 countries, serving more than 45 million people. The full scope of what we do is impossible to list here, but you can see how the opportunities for you to learn, lead and serve in vital, far-reaching work are virtually limitless.
