AN AMAZING JOB IS WAITING FOR YOU!

Meadville YMCA Job Opportunities

Come join our team at the YMCA. We have several jobs that look great on resumes and help your community!

The first thing that comes to mind when I am asked “Why do I work for the YMCA” my answer is strengthening the community I live in. My passion is nutrition and food and what better way to connect with the community than to feed them. Sharing food helps everyone connect and I love helping families be healthy. Cooking meals for a community to eat together promotes a sense of belonging and strengthens community ties. It means a lot for me to be a part of that.

I love teach at the YMCA for many reasons. Most if all, I love the members who attend my classes. Over the years we have developed such wonderful relationships and have helped each other grow in our fitness journeys.

I love being an instructor at the YMCA because I love fitness classes. I know it's not everyone's style of working out, but I believe that for a large portion of people, the only way to be successful is to get on a schedule and go to the gym. If you don't make an appointment, it's not going to happen. Imagine that rather than dragging yourself to your basement for another stale workout, you're heading to the YMCA to hang out with people who make you laugh, motivate you, and sweat with you (maybe even swear with you). Now fitness is fun! Something to look forward to! Being a person to help foster that mentality is absolutely one of my favorite things. Group classes changed my whole mindset towards exercise, and I hope I'm doing that for others at an RPM instructor at the YMCA.

The Meadville Family YMCA is my second home. As a member of the Y I fell in love with group fitness classes. I was shocked and excited when I was approached about becoming an instructor. Being and instructor at the Y has built my confidence mentally and physically. I look at each class I lead as an opportunity to leave a positive mark on someone’s day. It is an honor guiding members through their fitness journey, being a part of their change and growth. The family I have built at the Y has helped mold me into the person I am today. The atmosphere we create is one of accountability and inclusion. I am forever grateful for the relationships I have built through this part-time employment.
