Yvonne was a licensed Optician for 32 years before becoming our Youth & Family Coordinator. While Yvonne had a successful career in Optometry, Yvonne started her YMCA career as a Front Desk Personnel at the St. Peters YMCA. Yvonne says “It was like I had found where I was supposed to be.” After a year and a half Yvonne and her significant other decided to make the move to Quincy. After another great interview and a perfect fit for the job, Yvonne became our Front Desk Personnel.

Shortly after starting, Yvonne was offered the Youth and Family Coordinator position. Yvonne knew she would love the opportunity to again work with a group of kids to help mold them into thriving members of the community. As the Youth and Family Coordinator Yvonne strives to grow the Quincy Family YMCA’s emphasis on Family and Community.
