Certifications for Forging Better Leaders
The YMCA requires strong cause-driven leadership to effect lasting personal and social change.
This means leaders are strong in nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility. We must prepare the next generation of Y leaders by encouraging and rewarding a commitment to professional development and lifelong learning.
Certifications signify an individual’s knowledge and skill development in areas critical to the Y’s success.
Types of Certifications
Because the safety of everyone engaging in the Y’s programs is our top priority, we offer certifications in CPR/AED, First Aid, and even lifeguarding, and water safety instructor.
All classes are taught by a certified instructor from either YMCA, Red Cross or American Safety Health Institute.
