YMCA of Greater Omaha-Employee Benefit
We just wanted to share an amazing new benefit The YMCA has for all their YMCA of Greater Omaha employees that started this semester. They now have two fantastic partnerships with Creighton University and Clarkson College, employees and their dependents will now receive a discount on tuition. At Creighton University, students would receive 40% off their tuition rate as an employee in good standing at the YMCA of Greater Omaha, at Clarkson College students would receive 30% off their tuition rate.
If you a student/parent would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact the YMCA directly. College is expensive and the YMCA wants to make sure students know there are options for a flexible job with flexible schedules as well as help on those tuition bills – win/win!
