The YMCA of Douglas County is an equal opportunity employer. We work to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.

For 75 years, individuals and families have made the YMCA of Douglas County a vital gathering place for fitness, better health, community, childcare, teen exploration programs, and new friendships. Some members come simply to play cards, visit with friends, and feel connected. It all counts.

Membership growth and community support have fueled refreshed facilities, updated equipment, and popular classes. The next Chief Executive Officer will build on this strong foundation.

We are looking for a leader who will inspire us and, in turn, be inspired by a beautiful rural community where the CEO can quickly become an engaged and visible community leader. Douglas County is eager for a partner who will help develop solutions to community needs, recognizing that strong partnerships create success for all.

• Believe rural communities deserve world-class leadership.
• Want to make decisions that improve lives before your very eyes.
• See partnerships as the fastest path to stronger communities.
• Believe leadership is measured by the people you develop.
• Thrive in organizations where innovation and compassion work side by side.
• Value a strong culture and understand that fit is as important as talent.
• Say what you do and do what you say.
• Do not put off until next week what can be started today.
• Want to live where mountains, rivers, forests, vineyards, and agriculture surround you with beauty and opportunities to explore.
• Appreciate a community where rush hour is not an obstacle to quality of life.
• Want your work to matter long after the workday ends.

As CEO, you will partner with the Board of Directors, leadership team, staff, and community to advance the YMCA's mission, strengthen financial stability, and expand programs and services.

You'll help:

• Sustain our current programming and thoughtfully expand it.
• Develop and support leaders who love their work and help create an energizing workplace for others.
