Our Y Stories

What does it look like when a community comes together to support well-being and belonging for all?In a new video message, YMCA of Greater Cleveland President & CEO Tim Hilk reflects on the first quarter of 2026, highlighting the meaningful impact we’re making across our community and the important work still ahead.

The Y has great part-time, flexible positions in our Summer Camp, School Age Child Care, Lifeguard and Swim Instructor programs available right now. (Training is available for those interested in becoming a lifeguard or swim instructor.) Y employees receive free membership and discounts on Y classes, programs and child care.

Time is running out for you to secure your spot for the upcoming YMCA Summer Camps! Picture a place where every child feels at home—a lively sanctuary brimming with laughter, where young adventurers create lasting friendships and unforgettable memories.

As a valued member of the YMCA community, we're excited to offer you early registration for our Gold Awarded, high quality pre-school and Y-Club (before and after school care) programs. Early registration is available for current members and past participants.

At the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, we believe wellness is about more than just the number on the scale. It’s about building confidence, forming healthy habits and discovering what your body and mind are truly capable of. That’s exactly what MOVE 2 LOSE, our 10-week weight loss program, offers.

At the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, strengthening spirit, mind and body has always been at the heart of what we do. This April, we are proud to take that commitment even further by joining a powerful national movement: the United States of Kindness campaign by Kindland.
