BIG YMCA news from Boca Raton.

In this episode of The Digital Mayors Podcast, we talk with Jason Hagensick, President and CEO of the YMCA of South Palm Beach County, about how the Y is quietly shaping families, teens, and leaders in our community.

Jason shares his journey from growing up in a traveling carnival family to becoming a YMCA CEO, why he wants his kids to make their mistakes at the Y where there is a safety net, and what 175 years of the YMCA movement means today. We dig into teen leadership, youth and government, Blue Ridge, the Building Possibilities Campaign, and what it looks like when kids are stuck on waitlists for preschool and programs.

In the middle of it all, Jason also makes a big announcement:

“The board chair for the Peter Blum Family YMCA will be none other than Michael Nathanson.”

We talk about why board leadership matters, how volunteers and donors shape the future of the Y, and share one of the funniest rec league stories you will hear about a new CEO getting "T'd up" and ejected from an adult league game. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you care about community, kids, leadership, or creating places where people feel they belong, this conversation will give you a new appreciation for the YMCA.
