DID YOU KNOW?

  • President Ronald Reagan was a lifeguard at the Dixon (Ill.) Family YMCA.
  • Industrialist Henry Ford taught metal shop at the YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit.
  • Actor Denzel Washington was a camp counselor at Camp Sloane YMCA in Lakeville, Conn.

And that's not all. As a teenager, Ken Gladish wielded a broom at his local YMCA in Northbrook, Ill. Today he heads YMCA of the USA, the national resource office for America's 2,575 YMCAs. A nighttime custodian's job at San Francisco's Central Branch YMCA gave Danny Glover the income to pay for courses at San Francisco State University. Today, the award-winning actor continues to give back to YMCAs through public appearances and promotions of Y programs on national radio and television.

Like Gladish and Glover, tens of thousands of Americans have used YMCA jobs of all kinds as stepping stones in their careers. Many have made whole careers of Y work after falling in love with the fulfillment of working to better their neighborhoods through the YMCA.

Here are just a few reasons to work for the YMCA:

  • To build a career that enhances your community;
     
  • To work in a values-based environment characterized by fun, energy, teamwork and responsibility;
     
  • To enjoy great benefits, which may include flexible hours, a free Y membership or an outstanding retirement plan.

Visit www.ymca.net to find available jobs at YMCAs around the country. And remember: becoming a lifeguard at the Winchester YMCA could be your stepping stone to finding job satisfaction for your life!
