WE'RE HIRING GREAT PEOPLE

MEET VINCE GLORIOSO

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DAN MCKINNEY FAMILY YMCA

Dan McKinney Family YMCA is a place for belonging. When you walk through our doors, whether you’re headed in for a workout, a swim or an activity with your child, we want you to feel welcome and have a sense of goodness.

It’s our goal to provide high-quality experiences that allow people to focus on their personal well-being while connecting with others through shared experiences. We’re building community.

This Y is a unique resource. We’re here to respond to the needs and interests of the community with programming for cancer survivors, aging adults, injury recovery, adaptive support and more. Our Positive Youth Development approach encourages all children to reach their potential.
We raise funds to provide financial assistance to ensure access is available for all.

I’ve been a member of this Y since 2000. I  joined the staff as a sports coordinator and grew into other roles around the county. I raised my two kids at this Y. We’ve done all the programs such as camps, sports, swimming and Adventure Guides.

I’ve made lifelong friendships and created wonderful memories. I returned to Dan McKinney Family YMCA in 2019 as Executive Director — truly a dream come true.
