April Member of the Month - Jacob Miller

Why is it important for you to be an active member at the YMCA?

The YMCA is important to me because having a healthy body is important for having a long, productive life.

What is your first memory of the YMCA?

My first memory of the YMCA is taking weight lifting classes for under 15 year olds.

How has the YMCA impacted your life? 

I have met many people in yoga classes and have improved my health.

What should this community know about the YMCA of Parkersburg? 

The Y is much more than a swimming pool or weight lifting.

How have you witnessed the YMCA Mission in action? 

YMCA Mission: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. 

The summer child care that is offered at the YMCA benefits the children in our community. (Dad's note: allowing people with disabilities access to programs)

What is something you are proud of from the last year? This can be personal, professional, academic etc. 

Moving into my own apartment!
