CLEAN. WELCOMING. TOGETHER.
At the Akron Area YMCA, we are here for you. Our impeccably clean facilities are open and ready to help you meet your goals and find community--whatever that looks like for you. Beginning June 2, 2021 we will relax our mask requirements -- in the BRANCHES and return to the pre-COVID operation and protocol. At this time, changes to our Child Care operations are still under the jurisdiction of the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, so no June changes have yet to be announced.
Good People know Good People
We love to work with people who enjoy developing youth, being socially-conscious and supporting healthy lifestyles for all. But, sometimes good people are hard to find. We have current full and part-time openings, particularly in our areas of Early Care/Education and Before/After School Care. If you know a good person ... please make the introduction!
Artists Show their "Y Story"
In partnership with Summit ArtSpace, the Akron Area Y celebrates our 151-year milestone with a creative exhibit open for LIVE viewing on Saturdays and 24-hour viewing virtually.
