The Ymca Ywca

The YMCA is the nation's largest not-for-profit community service organization in America. With more than 2,500 YMCAs, they are able to meet the health and social service needs of 18.9 million men, women and children in over 10,000 communities in the United States. No one is turned away from the Y. It is a place for people fo all faiths, races, abilities, ages and incomes. Inability to pay is never a reason for the YMCA to turn someone away. Their strength lies in fulfilling their goal of bringing people together.

The world is full of heroes. The brave men and women who serve in the armed forces protect the United States of America. Local police help ensure safety in cities and towns. Firefighters save lives daily. Doctors perform life-saving surgeries. Heroes are found everywhere. Although some people seem to forget, lifeguards are heroes too. I recently sent in an application to be a lifeguard at the pool on campus. I was discussing hours with a classmate who is currently employed, and he told me that the hours were long, but often a shift would pass without a single swimmer entering the water. Another classmate interjected saying “You can do your homework while you work.” Lifeguarding is not the easy task portrayed in movies. Guards do not suntan and talk to girls for the duration of their shift. Rather, a lifeguard’s duty is in the name: guarding the lives of patrons. The work of these heroes is often gone unpraised. The job is disregarded as an easy way for teenagers to make money, instead of the true challenge it offers to the employees. The process of becoming a lifeguard requires more than blowing a whistle. It is a commitment involving intricate knowledge acquired through training and experience. Lifeguarding is a serious commitment.

In the book NewJack: Guarding Sing Sing, the book discussed the life of a guard. Most people feel that the guards are bad guys in the criminal justice system and with the politics of the criminal justice systems there are many assumptions of the way in which the stereotype of prison guard’s life should be. The author Ted Conover explains first hand on the experiences behind the scenes that many guards experiences throughout their careers that is an untold story of the truth in the prison system. Conover was curious about the subculture of the prison guards’ duties and wanted to know the truth about if the assumptions that most have about the prison guards is truthful. Conover entered the Academy with many other young men and a few women who wanted good jobs with security. The training was modeled after boot camp for the military. Those who had been in the military fared better than those who had not been so initiated. Once Conover crossed the training hurdle, he was tossed over to Sing Sing for his first assignment.

Not only does lifeguarding save lives but it also helps financially by providing jobs for thousands around the country.

Oscar Vazquez is one of the four high school students who was attending the American Forces Career Center to enlist in the United States Army. He got denied due to his immigration status. A sergeant at the AFCC recommended that he should stay away from any government office for his wellbeing so he won’t risk getting caught by the Immigration and Custom Enforcement Agency. Since his dream was shattered he decided to organize an underwater robotics competition that he saw on a television commercial. Oscar consults with Mr. Fredi Cameron, a substitute teacher, to help oversee an engineering club to enter an underwater robotics competition. Mr. Cameron agrees as long as he finds more students to join.

Touching on how the Navy trains seals, the viewers got to see how candidates deal with their fear of drowning.

Within the municipality of Brampton, the Lifesaving Society or LSS is the major organization that offers Learn to Swim programs. The LSS provide all the courses, requirements, procedures, and awards. Brampton uses their model and provides everyone with LSS courses. The first major lifesaving course starts at roughly age 12, but anyone who feels as though they are ready can sign up for the course.

Upon completion, children will earn their: Bronze Medallion, emergency first aid and CPR-B qualifications. Finally, we move onto Bronze Cross, arguably one of the most exciting lifesaving courses.

YWCA would be in the non-profit industry, which is growing every day. The industry of non-profit is growing and becoming more competitive. We all know that non-profit, means what is says no profit to the company or organization, however, did you know that most people who own a non-profit organization makes more money than you think. This is because they use surplus revenue to attain its objectives instead of them distributing them as income or dividends. The members of the board get paid, and for the most part they have really old people or really young people who volunteer their services for free. So at the end of the day that makes the real money non-profit or profitable organization, I guess that all depends on the product or service and the marketing

Lifeguard classes were 2 days that consisted of CPR training, swimming laps, and learning rescues. When we first began, there were three of us sitting at a table on the pool deck with an outdated rolling TV. I was handed a 100-page lifeguarding manual my eyes bulged out of my head, the butterflies in my stomach multiplied. Looking through the book, watching rescues and talking through every question I had calmed my nerves. But the statistics of drowning still haunted my mind, 360,000 people died from drowning in 2015 (WHO). All though at the YMCA in Red Oak hasn’t had a drowning,
