In this episode of The Local, host Marc Horner and co-host Meg Goodman welcome Rob Wilkinson, CEO of the BR Ryall YMCA in Glen Ellyn. During the pandemic, the Y stepped up by providing meals to families in need and offering virtual learning for kids. Rob discusses how these initiatives shaped their current programs and community outreach. One of the Y's core missions is ensuring that no one is turned away due to inability to pay and how their scholarship program works and how they partner with local schools to support families. Tune in to hear Rob’s insights on community service, adaptability, and the future of the YMCA.
