I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Kansas City, KS) in Jan 2020
Interview
They ask you why you want to work there and what experience you have. They give you scenarios such as a kid throwing a temper tantrum and ask you what you would do in that situation. Make sure you know the four core values and have an example for how you demonstrate each.
It was a panel interview. I think there was only one interview. They asked questions and I was able to get a good understanding of the role and what the job could entail.
Got asked about what 3 items I would take with me on an abandoned island, other than that they asked really long questions about company values and situations where I demonstrated that.
Very easy! You will meet with the leaders of the camp to go over your qualifications and expectations. You will talk about schedules for the summer as well! Be prepared to talk about your experience with kids
