Just to clarify—our Y on the Fly program has a home base in Richmond, TX (T.W. Davis YMCA), and that's the location you're seeing for the interview. However, the position you applied for is where you would be assigned to work if hired.We do hold our monthly trainings out of the Richmond office, and many staff choose to commute there only for those training sessions.
