The Young Center strives to be an excellent place to work, and its benefits are intended to manifest our values. Young Center’s policies are designed to support the needs of all our employees, across life stages and family structures. Here are some highlights:

Outstanding Insurance Coverage

  • We pay for 100% of all coverage, an unusual practice, but one that speaks to our commitment to ensuring all employees have access to the same excellent array of benefits.

  • We invest most heavily in health and dental insurance, offering the best plan available and covering 100% of the premiums—not just for employees, but also for dependents!

  • All employees are enrolled at no cost in Short- and Long-Term Disability, Accidental Death & Dismemberment, and Life Insurance coverage.

Generous Time-Off Policies and Flexible Scheduling

  • Employees in their first and second years with the Young Center accrue 15 days of vacation annually, 20 days after two years; and 25 days after eight years.

  • All employees receive 12 days of sick time and 13 paid holidays per year, as well as up to 4 weeks of paid family medical leave.

  • Our flexible scheduling policy allows start times between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. Employees can also elect to work remotely several days per week. (Note: Currently, Young Center offices are fully remote through at least January 2022.)  

401k Match and Financial Wellness

  • We value our employees’ long-term financial well-being. Toward this end, we match 100% of the first 5% an employee contributes to their 401k.

  • We provide third-party financial wellness counseling—quarterly individual meetings with a financial advisor—to help employees plan for their futures.

  • All employees receive an annual cost-of-living increase to ensure no one’s wages are worth less year over year, independent of merit increases.
