Team Leader of Café Services
Full Time - New North London YMCA
Established in 1856 as the seventh YMCA in Canada, our YMCA has a history of service and deep roots in London and surrounding communities. We started providing physical fitness services in 1890, later opened the Queen's and Wellington branch in 1896, purchased Camp Queen Elizabeth for a "buck and a bible" in 1954, expanded service with the Bob Hayward Branch in 1963, and moved, in 1983, to a new downtown Centre Branch on Waterloo Street after fire destroyed the old facility. In 1994 the Woodstock Y became part of our Association and in late 2007 we changed our name to the YMCA of Western Ontario when we became one with the St. Thomas-Elgin Family YMCA. Our YMCA has continued to keep pace with a growing and dynamic community.
In 2008, 69,767 people, infants to seniors, participated in our programs. Our members come from all social, economic and racial backgrounds as well as from all areas of the city.
We are a full-service YMCA with an annual operating budget of $25 million.
Our success can be credited to the work of the more than 600 staff and 200 volunteers in the Association.
The London North Branch is the most ambitious expansion our Y has undertaken in decades and is scheduled to open in the fall of 2010. This exciting new location, in a growing part of London, will be dedicated to meeting the needs of community residents through provision of memberships, aquatic programs, youth and adult recreational and fitness programs.
