Bronx, United States Northeast Bronx YMCA Full time

**Salary: $2,400 Biweekly**

The YMCA of Greater New York is here for all New Yorkers — to empower youth, improve health, and strengthen community. Founded in 1852, today the Y serves a diverse population of more than half a million New Yorkers who learn, grow, and thrive through programs and services at our 24 branches. Community is the cornerstone of the Y. Together, we connect active, engaged New Yorkers to build stronger communities.

To help fulfill our mission, we cultivate a culture of learning, leading, and collaboration to enhance community impact. Through our talented staff and “LEAP” career framework (Leadership, Empowerment, Accountability, Personal Growth), we are committed to a people-first approach that fosters trust, inclusion, growth, and development for all.

**Y Summer Camp**
There is an energy and magic to summer camp that cannot be replicated. Throughout the gyms, classrooms, playgrounds, campgrounds, buses, and trains, campers can be heard laughing, singing, playing, and learning. Y Camps provide an exciting camp experience in a safe and accepting environment and enhances campers’ self-confidence, self-esteem, and leadership skills.

**Is this the job for you?**
Do you want to work for an organization that continuously strives to make a positive impact in NYC? The Y is in all 5 boroughs. We serve 12,000 campers by providing fun, safe, and positive experiences for kids.

**Who are we looking to hire?**
We are looking for people who enjoy working with youth. People who are creative, have a passion for teaching youth new skills, are enthusiastic, and model our four core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. We are looking for people who can provide a safe and positive environment for school-age children to provide opportunities for learning, interaction, and academic/personal growth.

**What’s in it for you?**
Aside from being a part of a greater movement and actively playing a role in developing our next generation, the Y offers so much more:

- Build your resume with marketable skills that include teamwork, creativity, communication, and leadership.
- Receive 40 hours of training, which is great to list on your resume.
- Work for an organization that consistently raises the bar and always looks towards being innovative - did you know the Y invented basketball?
- Have fun - while this is a serious job and safety is our number one priority, we conduct our days with all things fun.
- Take advantage of discount offers to special events throughout New York City via our “Plum Benefits” program.
- Get a Y membership. Our seasonal staff receive an individual adult membership for the time of their employment.
