Since January 2023, YMCA of Northern British Columbia, YMCA-YWCA of Kamloops and YMCA of Greater Vancouver are officially one association, with one mission to strengthen our impact for communities across British Columbia. We are YMCA BC - Even Stronger Together. This transition marks a new chapter in our long-standing history of building communities, transforming lives, and connecting people of all ages, stages, backgrounds and abilities, to unique opportunities to learn, grow, and reach their potential.

At the YMCA BC, people are our greatest asset, and we are proud to be an employer of choice. Working at the YMCA BC means you are part of a fun, positive team in an environment of honesty, caring, respect, responsibility, and inclusivity. We are committed to providing our community with the support it needs to thrive through employment, youth services, and programming for families and seniors. We believe a vibrant, healthy community is one in which everyone feels a sense of belonging and connection.

**Nature and Scope**:
The YMCA Y Mind programs are early intervention, evidence-based programs which support people who experience symptoms of mild to moderate anxiety to learn coping strategies and connect with peers in a safe and encouraging group environment. The Y Mind Adult program (ages 31+) meets for 3.5 hours weekly for 7 weeks. Delivery is virtual and facilitators are required to work from home.

Reporting to the Y Mind Adult Supervisor, the Y Mind Group Facilitator will work collaboratively with other staff and participants. Two Y Mind facilitators are responsible for the intake and assessment of 12 group participants, co-facilitation of the program, and delivery of the program. The Y Mind Facilitator will co-lead this psychoeducation and support group with one other facilitator to help participants learn about their anxiety and discover helpful coping tools through creative activities and discussions grounded in mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). If program participants require additional support, the Y Mind Facilitator will provide appropriate community referrals.
