Meet our Teen Advisor! ERIC!! 🥳

“Hey y’all!

My name is Eric and I’m the Staff Lead for our teen Leaders Club here at the Winston YMCA. I was born and raised in Jacksonville (so I’m a big Jaguars fan) and my family and I have been YMCA members for 25+ years. I’m passionate about creating a space where young people can grow, connect, and discover their potential. I believe that every teen has unique strengths, and my goal is to help them build confidence, leadership skills, and lasting friendships through this program.

With a focus on teamwork, service, and personal growth, I work alongside our members to plan activities, lead discussions, and guide projects that make an impact in our community. More than anything, I want each teen who walks through our doors to feel supported, inspired, and empowered to lead in their own way.”

We’re so excited for this years TEEN LEADERS CLUB! Check out the September Calendar for what’s to come!!
