Hear what our former and current employees have to say about the program...

"Working with the YMCA assisted me with learning engagement, empathy skills, teaching social skills to kids & youth, and leadership skills. Currently as a social worker I am still using these skills & continuously working to better them."- Sarah

"Working as a site leader for the YMCA helped me develop many necessary skills to be successful in the field of education. As a classroom teacher I used classroom management, relationship building with students and families, and organizational skills. In my current role as Assistant Principal at Strafford Elementary I am normally with students in large numbers much like when working for the YMCA. It helped me learn the importance of putting systems in place that maximize safety but still allow for fun. As well as helped me get an understanding of how to lead others. I am thankful for the time I spent working for the Y and all the valuable skills I learned during my time."- Crystal
