YMCA

I discovered my desire to work with children when I started working with the Scouts, YMCA, and a youth treatment center. I knew that I wanted to become a teacher one day while working at the YMCA. I had a coworker ask me, “Josh, what is your secret.” She would go on to ask how I was able to keep several of the older, more rambunctious children on task and out of trouble. At the time, I did…

am reviewing is YMCA of Greater New York. The reason I selected this specific organization is because there is also a YMCA located in my home town. It aids in helping the youth and established programs for the betterment of the community. The mission statement of the YMCA Greater New York defines the purpose for creating the organization, how it plans to operate, and what individuals or groups it targets. The history behind this nonprofit organization gives so much credibility. YMCA of Greater…

Appleton while my family and I were keeping warm while shooting hoops at the local YMCA. In the gym, my family grew tired and bored of playing basketball while my dad played his very best with no ease to his four kids including myself. After awhile my mom finally decided to take us down to the bouncy house that was hidden in the basement. Not many people knew about it. We found our way down the stairs to the basement of the YMCA, but then when we got down there we didn’t know where to go. After…

My Internship Since the beginning of the semester, I have intern at the YMCA. I was able to accomplish numerous of tasks while interning at the YMCA. For instance, the tasks were guest satisfaction, guest data management, score keeper for basketball and supervising/ working with children. The first task that I performed was by interacting with the customers. Being able to interact with them has helped me personally to grow as a human. For instance, being a shy person it really hard for me to…

The Scarborough YMCA After reviewing and analysing the case study, “The Scarborough YMCA: Getting Back on Track” (Mark & Seijts, 2010), it was abundantly clear, that from the beginning this facility was plagued with obstacles and with each change in general manager there was a computation of deficiencies which have resulted in the authentic leadership dilemma it was now being faced with. Over the years, as each new general manager took charge, the leadership vision shifted its focus from one…

NURTURING SKILLS AND BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN THE WATER For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to create lasting, meaningful change. Everything the Y does is in service of building a better us. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for staying healthy. Y swim instructors are…

The YMCA of Southern Nevada was established back in 1944 inside of a modest storage room at Society cleaners. After that the building grew dramatically into the full YMCA facility today. It houses multiple facilities through which to use for the programs available. The three main programs the YMCA focuses on are youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. For my purposes, I chose the social issue of youth development for my goal in the service learning project. Youth…

Observation: The YMCA daycare program is very different from Hope. I went back and forth between the two classrooms with children from ages 2 to 4 and I even spent a bit of time in the infant room. I learned more about the different temperaments of the children and how to address them. In addition, I also saw how children three to four years of age did not know how to say what they wanted so they would hit and throw things. I would have to say the biggest thing that I learned today was figuring…
