It is family friendly, great staff
I think in the family zone we need 2 to 3 staff in there depending on how many children there are if there are teenagers I think someone has to put some sort or rules up about using the T.V. and the X Boxes so that they don't get broken.
Productive and new experience gained.
- A typical day at work was similar, but clients were different since there are so many clients coming in and out daily bases.
- I've gained a lot of experience from the YMCA.
-> Working with a blind client
-> New working atmosphere (GYM)
- There wasn't really any hardest part of the job because co-workers were operative and the working atmosphere was very relaxed.

The work space was fun and friendly!
I worked with an after school activity group for girls, and it was always fun and friendly! This job was a student job so it was not a job to take if you were looking to make enough money to live off of. They supplied training and the management was amazing, always friendly and understanding.
Pros
Fun
Cons
not enough $$

Fun collaborative experience
At YMCA I was taught the value of being apart of the team. I realized that to get a job you must be capable of working with your partners. I realized that not one person is able to reach their full potential without the help of their companions.
We want to help you find great companies. Help us be the best!
Do these reviews help you learn more about working at YMCA?
not bad
The place is very clean and has really good staff as a volunteer you have to work hard to keep up with the scheduled programs and to make sure that all the equipment is probably set up. overall it was a nice experience and i got a chance to meet new people
Great place to work!
I had the most wonderful supervisor who cared deeply about her staff! She was an inspiration...
I met many caring, supportive people who all shared the desire to help others!
There are lots of training and advancement opportunities within the system so that we were equipped to best help those we served.

It wasn’t pleasant
The management was not always helpful and a lot of my bosses were rude and treated us poorly. They would make a huge mess then have us clean it. They treated us (volunteers) like we were inferior. The higher management was nicer, but the people that I directly worked with were not always nice.

Bullying runs rampant,
At The YMCA of Northern BC men are allowed to sexually harass their co-workers and not only does upper management not allow you to report it, they will often find a reason to fire you or cut back your hours as a result. It is an extremely toxic workplace and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Pros
Free gym membership
Cons
Forced Volunteering, toxic work environment, bullying condoned.
