Welcome to Victory Family YMCA

In collaboration with York County, the Victory Family YMCA improves the quality of life in the community by providing safe, fun programs for area teens, youth, children, and families. All programs are designed to build strong moral values, personal wellness, and fellowship.

Our expansive wellness floor offers selectorized and plate-loaded strength machines, free weights, and advanced cable and functional training systems. Members will also find squat racks, assisted training stations, and dedicated core and mobility equipment.

• What inspired you to become part of the YMCA community? I was inspired to join the YMCA community because I've always believed that strong communities are built by people who genuinely care about one another. The YMCA represents the values that are important to me, supporting others, encouraging healthy lifestyles, and creating opportunities for people of all ages to grow and succeed. I wanted to be involved with an organization where I could make a meaningful impact while continuing to learn and grow.
• What are some of your most significant accomplishments at the YMCA? Two of my proudest accomplishments at the Y have been the Achievement Gap Program and the renovation of the Express YMCA. The Achievement Gap Program is especially meaningful because I had the opportunity to develop and lead it from the ground up. What began as a program serving just 20 students grew to more than 865 students and ultimately became a Virginia State Alliance signature program. Seeing the program expand its reach and make a lasting impact on so many young people has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
  
  My second proudest accomplishment is the renovation of the Express YMCA. Through a strong partnership with Bedrock Church, we transformed the facility and created a welcoming space that better serves the community. This collaboration demonstrated what can be accomplished when organizations come together with a shared commitment to meeting community needs and strengthening opportunities for those we serve.
  
• What are your hobbies/interests outside of work? Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, golfing, following NASCAR, and cheering on the Washington Commanders. I also enjoy staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through cycling and running.
