MINNEAPOLIS — The YMCA of the North let go of dozens of workers as they seek to "be more sustainable."
President and CEO of YMCA of the North Glen Gunderson said 59 full-time and 10 part-time workers are being laid off. Factors in making the decision include "participant trends, changing consumer behaviors, and rising expenses and inflation."
"We are prioritizing and adjusting to meet the changing needs of our communities," Gunderson said in a press release. "This includes a reduction in force across our organization, totaling approximately 1.8% of our full-time and part-time workforce. We value the contributions of team members being impacted and are providing them with transition support."
Gunderson did not specify which locations the workers are being laid off from, or what their jobs were.
The YMCA of the North has 23 sites across the metro area, and more than a dozen camps.
