What happens when a family facing a turbulent season finds a welcoming community and peace of mind at the Y?
For Episode 11 of First Friday Conversations, we have a guest interviewer! Shaira Miranda, Associate Executive Director at the Osceola County YMCA, sits down with Adaysha—a mom of two who shares how the Y helped her family find their footing during a difficult time.
From a welcoming member engagement team to a thriving environment in our Early Learning Center, Adaysha shares how finding the YMCA gave her something truly priceless: peace of mind.
“I was looking for some type of sunshine… there were quite a few cloudy days. When I came to the YMCA, everybody was so kind. It’s not just white walls. It’s love here.”
—Adaysha, Osceola YMCA Learning Center Parent
