Over time, contributions, combined with the interest earned, can help you build a nest egg for the future and plan for a comfortable retirement.

Eligibility
To be eligible for our Y’s 12% retirement contribution, you must complete 1,000 hours of YMCA service during each of any two 12-month periods, beginning with your date of hire. These two years do not have to be consecutive, and they may be spread between more than one YMCA in each of the two 12-month periods. You must also be at least age 21. Once you meet the eligibility requirements, our YMCA will enroll you in the Retirement Plan. To learn more about the YMCA Retirement Fund visit: yretirement.org.

Retirement 403(b) Savings Plan
Any employee can participate in the Savings Plan by opening a 403(b) Smart Account at any time during their Y employment, starting from their first day. You can immediately make contributions or rollover money to the Tax-Deferred Savings Plan from other eligible employer plans or IRAs.
