Develop your skills and gain valuable work experience in a dynamic environment with the YMCA of Southwestern New Brunswick's youth employability program, Y IGNITE.

The YMCA of Southwestern New Brunswick and the Department of Post-Secondary Education Training and Labour have partnered to develop the talent pipeline and support the leaders of tomorrow in Southwestern New Brunswick through a youth employability program.

Y IGNITE is a curriculum-based employment program that provides youth with the opportunity to learn transferable skills, gain valuable work experience, and build their professional network.

The program consists of four parts:

  • Employment Workshops: Participants will spend six weeks developing their skills and tools for success in the workforce, covering topics such as communication, collaboration, adaptability, creativity, innovation, job search, resume and cover letter development, interview preparation, professional writing, time management, and other general leadership and employment training topics.
  • Job Placement: Each participant will spend ten weeks in job placement in a department of the YMCA to explore their career and gain a head start.
  • Mentorship: Participants will have the ability to connect with a mentor who has been through the program or has a career in their field of interest.
  • Employment Action Plan: Each participant will work with an employment counsellor to set up an employment action plan before and during the program.

The next Y IGNITE cohort begins this fall and runs for 16 weeks. Participants must be available to work full-time hours throughout the program.

As part of the Y IGNITE program, we are looking for youth to join one of the following departments:

  • Child Care and After School: Assist in children's learning and growth, including physical and social development, in a safe and child-centred environment.
  • Facilities: Perform upkeep tasks and ensure facilities are tidy and functional.
  • Membership Services: Deliver high-quality experiences to members and potential members by being an information source about the programs and services the YMCA of Southwestern New Brunswick offers.
  • Recreation: Ensure an enjoyable, safe, and inclusive environment for participants of various skills and abilities.
  • Fitness: Instruct groups and individuals in fitness activities and programming, and provide lifestyle awareness information to members.
  • Newcomer Connections: Assist the Newcomer Connections team in program support, administrative tasks, and creating a warm environment for newcomers.
  • Philanthropy & Volunteering: Assist the Philanthropy team in promoting the YMCA and increasing awareness of its impact, and support fundraising activities and volunteer coordination.
  • Aquatics: Ensure a safe and welcoming aquatic environment for everyone, and deliver high-quality, values-based programming while prioritizing the safety and well-being of all participants.

Please highlight the top 2 departments you would like to be placed in.
