New STEM at the Y Initative beginning Spring 2022

We are excited to announce that thanks to the support of AEP, the YMCA of Central Stark County will launch the STEM at the Y Initiative beginning Spring 2022. The initiative will cross multiple programming platforms including aquatics, child care, youth sports, teen, family, and Y on the Fly. It will focus on college and career readiness, including workforce development for minorities. Year-round activities will nurture students’ curiosity, creativity, and critical-thinking skills in subjects ranging from biology to robotics to computer programming.

A career at the Y is more than a job - it's an experience. That's because the Y is more than a gym - it's a cause! Every day, we work hard to positively impact the lives of those in our communities through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Would you like to join us?

Diversity and Inclusion Statement

The Y is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities. Together we work to ensure everyone, regardless of race, gender, income, faith, sexual orientation, or cultural background has the opportunity to live life to its fullest. Our core values are caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility – they guide everything we do.

At the Y, ensuring that Y staff, volunteers, members, and community stakeholders know and represent the community is vital to organizational success and advancing the Y’s cause of strengthening community. When we practice inclusion, we address our society’s trends and remain relevant to them while we remain true to the YMCA mission, goals, and values.
