Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are groups of employees that form with a common bond, a shared characteristic, or a life experience. They provide support, help with career or personal development, and work to address issues inside and outside of the workplace. Who can be involved? ANYONE! Full or part-time staff are encouraged to engage with ERGs. All ERGs are open to everyone, whether you are a learner, supporter, or ally. The YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas currently has 5 ERGs: 

Women Empowered (WE) - Women's ERG

Campeones Unidos - Hispanic/Latino ERG

DREAM - African American ERG

BeYou - LGBTQ+ ERG

NextGen – Emerging Leaders ERG
