Water Works at the Y | South Side YMCA - Paid

YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago

Water Works is a brand-new YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago career exploration program designed to unlock a whole new world of careers in and around water — which makes up nearly three-quarters (71%) of the world’s surface! From lifeguard to oceanographer, participants will obtain first-hand discovery of a variety of water-related careers. This program will provide varied levels of swim instruction, certification, and career development programming focused on water-related careers at no cost. In addition to all of your costs for certifications and equipment being included, you will also earn a paid stipend of $16.20/hour!

Water Works takes place from August 26 to November 16!

Each session runs Monday through Thursday weekly from 5-8PM, with field trips every other Saturday.

DON’T KNOW HOW TO SWIM? NO PROBLEM. NO SWIMSUIT? WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED! Our expert instructors are ready to help participants acquire the skills needed for industry recognized lifeguarding certifications and beyond. Career-seekers ages 16 to 24 are encouraged to apply now to determine eligibility.
