Description
Portrait photograph of Julius Jones. Julius Jones started his career in 1963 as a youth program director at the Jacksonville (Fla.) YMCA. Four years later, he was appointed branch executive director in the Nashville (Tenn.) association. In 1972, he moved to the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington, D.C. as director of operations.
In 1979, he began 22 years of service as president and chief executive officer of the YMCA of Pittsburgh (Pa.). In that role, he was responsible for the operation of 17 local branches and outreach centers and three camps, with an annual budget of over $22,000,000. With a passion for staff development, Jones was a mentor and teacher for generations of up-and-coming YMCA directors. As a result of his international work, many long-term partnerships were created between U.S. and African YMCAs.
He served on numerous boards and committees, both within and outside the YMCA, including the National Conference of Christians and Jews, the Private Industry Council, and Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers. In retirement, Jones continued to provide leadership with YMCA of the USA, the North American Fellowship of YMCA Retirees (NAFYR), and the YMCA Retirement Fund, including relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
