Last week I began my first week of work at the YMCA. It is very different to Athletic Republic as AR is a for profit industry while the Y is a non-profit industry. It seemed to me that the vibe at the YMCA was more like a family. The staff was very close with each other, and I felt very accepted into their workplace. My work so far has included assisting with sports' camps, and doing a lot in the gym. The schedule is usually consistent so I am trying to adjust to that as well. I am excited about my future work at the Y.
