If you've ever applied for any kind of job in your life, you've probably heard the phrase "workplace diversity" more than a few times. We live in a colorful world and just like most companies, the YMCA prides itself on celebrating the things that make us all different. But what does workplace diversity actually mean? How does it work and how might you feel it?

It's a big question and so we did what we always do when we have big questions... we asked our Executive Director, Tony Yee. Click "Read more" to here what he has to say, how he's felt his own uniqueness was appreciated, and what he really looks for in candidates.

Aloha, members!

We're so happy to announce that we're now producing high-quality, limited edition Kaimuki YMCA gear - starting with this Women's Racer Back Tank.

Here's an easy, no-bake recipe for healthy cookies shared to us by Healthy Lifestyle Coach, Leslie Sharp. She calls them Longevity Samoas.

After trying these out, we knew this recipe just had to be shared. Healthy cookies never tasted so good!
