EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS (ERGs)

EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS (ERGs)

YMCA Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are employee-led groups that seek to provide a space for the support, networking, and development of YMCA professionals from a variety of cultures and/or different experiences. These groups are open to all YMCA employees and volunteers.

Mission Behind ERGs

YMCA of the USA believes our employees and volunteers are our most valuable assets in our quest to strengthen the foundations of communities. In order to emphasize our commitment to a diverse and inclusive environment, we offer our employees and volunteers the opportunity to participate in our ERGs.

These employee-led groups provide a space for people to network, mentor one another, share their knowledge and experiences, participate in personal and professional development, enhance their leadership skills, inform strategic decisions, and provide consultation when needed - all while building meaningful connections across the movement. 

Overall Goals and Objectives

Each ERGs operate with the understanding that they exist to:

• Mentor/support staff/volunteer careers in the YMCA
• Make the YMCA organization more diverse and inclusive
• Build cultural awareness of the group's identified target communities
• Market YMCA services and employment opportunities to the target communities
• Support Diversity & Inclusion efforts across the Y Movement.
