Summary
For Jared, the YMCA has always been about community. In this episode of The Story Place , Jared reflects on growing up at the Y, where afternoons were filled with friends, foosball, popcorn, and a place to belong. Today, as a parent, volunteer, and community leader, he sees that same impact through a new lens as he shares those experiences with his own son. Jared also shares why he believes the YMCA plays such an important role in building stronger communities, supporting young people, and creating opportunities for people from all walks of life to connect and grow. It's a conversation about community, service, and the lasting impact of investing in the next generation. 🎧 Listen now and follow The Story Place for more YMCA stories Subscribe and share your YMCA story with us at [email protected] .
