Davis YMCA) , and that's the location you're seeing for the interview. However, the position you applied for is where you would be assigned to work if hired.

We do hold our monthly trainings out of the Richmond office, and many staff choose to commute there only for those training sessions. Your day-to-day work, however, would be at the location you applied for.
