NASHVILLE, Tennessee – (April 22, 2025) – As the weather heats up and the school year winds down, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee is gearing up for a summer of busy pools, eager learners, and active campers.
The Y seeks to fill a variety of roles to meet the high demands of the season and is offering several opportunities perfect for teens, college students and others looking to not only make extra money, but gain invaluable skills and experiences in a dynamic and supportive environment. Individuals possessing a positive and enthusiastic attitude are needed for the open positions of lifeguards, swim instructors and day camp counselors, among other part-time and seasonal roles.
