Fingerprints are requested for individuals who apply for positions in our Y Academy (early childhood education) and Out of School Time departments only. 

We utilize a partner agency for fingerprinting. 

More details will be provided on fingerprinting during the interview process. 

Hiring supervisors aim to respond to potential candidates within 48 to 72 hours after an application is submitted.

In general, a hiring supervisor will pull and review applications for a position. 

A phone interview may be conducted for qualified applicants. This process ensures candidates understand the role, position and compensation and are interested in the position. 

A follow-up in-person interview is then scheduled with a potential candidate within 24-48 hours from the phone interview.

We continue to look for partnerships that will promote jobs within the Y that would be a fit for the communities in which we service. We do this through attending DEI Job Fairs and partnering with universities and high schools to promote the Y’s community, programming and job opportunities.  

We also partner with the International Refugee Committee (IRC) which helps match and place students seeking job opportunities with positions at the Y. We continue to work to expand partnerships and opportunities for career development at the YMCA. 

We ask all candidates to provide 3 to 5 professional or personal references. 

Additionally, all potential employees undergo a background screen by a third party which conducts a nationwide search for any criminal, sex offender or predator registries.
