Come Join Us

The Regional Y began in the late 1800's as a storefront operation in downtown Danbury, later evolving into the Danbury Regional Young Men's Christian Association by 1963. The name was ultimately changed to the Regional YMCA of Western Connecticut and Eastern Putnam County, Inc. and we are currently ranked as the 3rd largest Y in Connecticut, employing approximately 300 people in our community.

We are a non-profit community service organization and our mission is dedicated to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities through the development of spirit, mind and body.

The Regional YMCA of Western Connecticut serves Northern Fairfield and Southern Litchfield Counties in Connecticut and Eastern Putnam County, New York.  Periodically there are openings for a variety of positions including:   lifeguards, fitness instructors, child care teachers, camp counselors and other full-time or part-time positions.

It is the policy of the Regional Y to employ individuals without regard to a person's race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or other characteristics protected by law.

The Regional Y is an organization focused on member service.  All staff, no matter the position, are expected to connect, engage and build relationships with our members and customers.
