What are the responsibilities and job description for the District Executive Director position at YMCA of Upper Palmetto?
As a mid-major association with a corporate office in Rock Hill, SC, we’re proud to serve growing, family-friendly communities that offer an exceptional quality of life. The area features four beautiful seasons, mild winters, and easy access to the mountains (just an hour north) and the beaches (Charleston is three hours south).
The region offers a variety of living options—from scenic rural areas to modern planned neighborhoods—and is home to Winthrop University and numerous healthcare providers. The Fort Mill and Clover school districts are also among the top-rated in the state, making this an ideal area to live, work, and raise a family.
