In addition to the “feel good” aspect of working for the KW YMCA, there are also financial benefits. You'll receive competitive wages and, with a minimum hourly commitment, you also receive membership benefits for you and your family. All full-time salaried employees receive comprehensive health benefits and a pension plan.
