Who We Are

Thanks to our amazing partners, donors, and incredible community members, we have been making waves in Minneapolis, serving over a thousand families since 2007.

 

Why You’ll Love Working Here

Our mission at V3 Sports is to elevate our community, and one of our passions is educating our community on how to swim. Every year, an unnecessary number of deaths occur due to drowning.

We provide aquatics and fitness offerings, on-site childcare and a new home for the Boys and Girls Club. Our goal is to begin the Phase Two expansion (adding a 50-meter pool, basketball courts, a track, and more) at the end of 2024 and complete it in 2027.

 

Wages

$90,000 to $95,000 annual salary range.

 

Benefits

Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) policy, plus 12 paid holidays per year; competitive health, dental, and vision insurance offerings, employer paid life and AD&D insurance with the option for additional coverage, and employer paid short- and long-term disability insurance; agency sponsored retirement plan with an employer match of 4% and immediate vesting.
