Easy work place, great for when you are in school and need a flexible schedule. Hours can be chosen. Bosses generally are nice and will work with your schedule

Great place to work at

There a so many jobs someone can do at the YMCA. It's a fun job because people who enter the facility are typically very nice and pretty friendly. The money is great for the teenagers that work part time. There is a certain kind of "family-like" atmosphere. A really nice place....Show more

Good first job

Good first job for a high schooler, a little above minimum wage and part time. Requires active attention and ability to quickly react. Don't expect full time as a life guard.
