Personal Y Stories

Having a job at the YMCA is something special. It's more than simply getting a paycheck.

Because the Y is a non-profit, you're not putting in hours to increase the bottom line. You're working side-by-side with amazing people to better the community you live in - right here in the Quad Cities!

Lives are impacted daily: from infants in our Kids Adventure Center, tots in our Preschool classes, school age kids in our before & after school care, teens and young adults in our mentoring programs, individuals seeking health and community all throughout our building in the gyms - the pools - the group exercise classes, loved ones finding support in our chronic disease prevention programs, seniors staying active and connecting with others in specialized group exercise classes, and so many more!

Do you dream of having a job you love?
