Y For All
ALL ARE WELCOME
Guided by our core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility, the Y is dedicated to giving people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity. As the nation’s leading nonprofit committed to helping people and communities learn, grow, and thrive, the Y is dedicated to inspiring positive change near and far.
At Greater Somerset County YMCA, we put our commitment into action by ensuring that everyone feels a sense of belonging across all aspects of the Y experience. Through our welcoming membership options, wide-ranging programs, community-focused events, and supportive financial assistance, we strive to make participation accessible to all individuals and families. Whether it’s through health and wellness initiatives, youth development programs, or opportunities for social connection, we are dedicated to creating a space where everyone can meet their unique potential.
THE Y’S COMMITMENT TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY
- Ys in the U.S. partner with Ys around the world to address social issues impacting communities at home and abroad, and engage young people to lead change.
- Nationally and in all 50 states, the Y advocates for positive social change.
- We focus our energy and resources on our purpose: strengthening community by connecting all people to their potential, purpose and each other.
- We believe that in order to strengthen communities, we must understand the current issues and foresee the future needs of the people and communities we serve. We measure success by our positive impact on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
- The Y encourages individual involvement and investments that support and lead critical overarching work in the community, all in an effort to increase the number of people we reach and the impact we make.
DO MORE. BE MORE.
The dedicated people who make up our staff are the foundation of the YMCA. Each person plays an important role in making the Y a welcoming, productive, and vital resource in their communities. If you’re looking to discover a deeper sense of purpose and a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the greater good in your community, then the Y is the organization for you. Greater Somerset County YMCA is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a drug-free workplace. We are committed to non-discriminatory policies and all qualified applicants who share our values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility will be considered for employment.
However, our staff can’t do this important work alone. Volunteers are essential to fulfilling the Y’s purpose to strengthen communities. Our members, program participants and volunteers all want the same thing: safe, inclusive, connected communities where everyone can flourish. Volunteers at the Y make a personal commitment to this vision by welcoming people of all backgrounds and dimensions of diversity. The skills, ideas and passion that our volunteers offer are invaluable. They strengthen our leadership by serving on our boards; they help us fundraise by leading our annual and capital campaigns; and they transform lives each day by serving as youth coaches, mentors, class instructors and leaders in our Y facilities and in the community.
