Do You Know the LA Y's Vision?
Test Your Knowledge and Show Off Those Skills!
 
Part of our responsibility as an employer is to communicate what we do as an organization in a clear and understandable way. While each Team Member starts to explore our vision and goals early on in their Y career, it’s the experiences throughout employment that help define this for each of us.
While you'll hear more about this in the coming months, we're interested in learning more about how our Team Members articulate what the LA Y aims to do in our communities as a baseline.

Think YOU have a good understanding of what our organization is all about? Take our Vision & Goals Quiz! Send us a screenshot of the pop-up that shows you've completed the quiz and you'll be entered to win one of our new LA Y french terry bomber jackets (men's and women's sizes avaialble). The quiz will be open through the end of the month, with one name being drawn on May 24th and another on May 31st.
