What makes an Afterschool program fun, educational, enriching, and overall a great all-around learning experience for children?

On of our YMCA Site Directors, Tania Brown, weighs in and shares what she does for the Afterschool site she leads at Palolo. Click "Read More" below!

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.

Last July we were blessed to have three interns from Michigan State University: Grace, Monica and Brooke.

You may not have seen them much as they visited most of the Y's on island and worked with our Metro head office, but it was definitely a delight to have them!

In return, they share what they find memorable about the YMCA of Honolulu. Click "READ MORE" to see what they had to say.

Are you ready for work that makes a difference in people's lives?

We'll be doing on-site applications and interviews for positions under 

• Youth / Childcare

• Membership / Healthy Lifestyles

See the current positions available at our Jobs Page.

We'll see you then! If you wanted to check out what it's like to work with us before then, here's a sneak peek:

We're always curious why people come to work and stay with the Kaimuki YMCA. Earlier in the year we asked a few of our current staff why they find themselves at our branch and we came up with this great compilation of words to inspire us: ​Why I work at the Kaimuki YMCA (Part 1).

This time, we got to speak to one of our Summer Day Camp Group Leaders, Kaluhi Kaapana and we asked her a different question - What is she learning so far? 

Our Summer staff are sometimes with us just for the summer and in such a short time, what do they get out of it? Read more on what Kaluhi has to say.

If you'd like to join the Summer staff, you're still welcome! Visit our jobs page here.
