Meet our new Youth And Families director at the Oak Square YMCA. We are excited to have Michael join our Oak Square YMCA leadership team. Here are a couple things about Michael. Stop by today and say hello.

“My name is Michael Markevich and I am the Youth and Family Director at the Oak Square YMCA. Growing up in Westminster Massachusetts, sports were a massive part of my childhood and shaped me into the person I am today. After playing 4 years of college lacrosse at Mount Ida, I knew coaching and working with youth was a passion of mine. Some of my hobbies include playing golf, video games, cooking and taking care of my dog, Scout.“

Meet our New Healthy Living Director, stop by and say Hi this coming week on Monday!

“Hi, I’m Shannon!

I’m so excited to join the Y as the Healthy Living Director. I’ve been a proud Y member for most of my life, and it’s incredibly meaningful to now be part of the team that helps others grow in health and community the same way I did.

I bring a background in health promotion, fitness, and community wellness, with a Master’s in Health Promotion & Management and a Bachelor’s in Biology. I’ve worked in healthcare and volunteered at an adapted fitness gym supporting individuals with disabilities. At Merrimack College, I supervised the Health and Wellness Department, organized their first-ever 5K, and led student wellness initiatives.

I co-founded a youth dance company offering free dance classes to youth in underserved communities, combining my 25+ years of dance experience with my passion for equity. I also grew up playing softball and basketball, which fueled my love for teamwork and movement. My global health outreach includes work in Jamaica and Costa Rica, where I supported medical care and health education in underserved areas.

Outside of work, I love dancing, traveling (New Zealand is a favorite!), and finding new ways to bring joy and movement into people’s lives. I truly believe in the Y’s mission and can’t wait to get started!”
