YMCA and UT Launch YMCA Professional Studies Program By Jennifer Ruple
The YMCA of Greater Toledo and the University of Toledo have designed a program that will allow undergraduate students to earn YMCA Senior Director Certification while studying for their bachelor's degrees. Students completing the YMCA Professional Studies Program (YPSP) will qualify for YMCA Senior Director Certification, paid internships and job placement at the YMCA which is one of the largest not-for-profit organizations in the country. The YMCA of Greater Toledo employs more than 2,100 locally.
The YMCA Professional Studies Program will be offered beginning this fall through the University of Toledo's College of Health and Human Services' Recreation and Leisure Studies Department. UT is one of five colleges/universities in the country selected by the YMCA of the USA to offer the program.
The program gives students the opportunity to receive this required YMCA director certification prior to their employment. Traditionally, YMCA directors begin working on this certification during their first year of employment.
Students enrolled in YPSP will study group work and volunteerism and equivalent courses will be offered for the requirements of supervision, financial management, community development, diversity and program development. In addition, students will receive support and assistance from national and local YMCAs through internship opportunities, special conferences, publications, scholarships, service learning projects, employment and more.
To learn more about the YMCA Professional Studies Program at the University of Toledo, please call Dr. Bruce Groves of the Recreation and Leisure Studies Departmen at 419-530-4353.
