THE HEART OF THE Y

Welcome to The Heart of the Y, a podcast that brings you closer to the people who make the YMCA of Greater Nashua more than a place it makes it a community.

Hosted by Lynne Boyer, Vice President of Community Impact, each episode features heartfelt conversations with YMCA staff who serve, lead, and show up every day with purpose. Through their stories, we explore the meaningful connections formed with members, the moments of belonging created across our programs, and the lasting impact made throughout our community.

These conversations shine a light on the dedication, compassion, and commitment that often happens behind the scenes but is felt in every interaction, every program, and every welcoming space. It is in these stories that we see how deeply our staff live out the mission and bring the YMCA core values to life in ways that strengthen individuals, families, and the community as a whole.
