The Culture
The best thing about working at ymca san francisco is:
The diversity and passion of our people, serving our community together. Work hard, play hard!
When we’re not working, we’re:
We’re enjoying the outdoors; caring for our physical, mental, and spiritual heath; raising and caring for our families; and supporting social justice in our communities.
What we’re reading:
“How to Be an Anti-Racist”, by Ibram X Kendi and “Daring Greatly” by Brene Brown
What we’re listening to:
WHO we are listening to- our youth. We are guided by the wisdom and the questions of our young people.
If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:
“Building the Plane While Flying It: A Story of Love, Chaos, and Innovation”
Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:
Nature is for everyone- and being welcomed, seen & valued is critical to social justice. The Y focuses on Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility and inclusion in the outdoors is integral to this work.
Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:
Our communities are healthier, safer, and more just.
