Description

In this episode, we sit down with Kaila Billups, Vicky Mayer, and Madeline Mills, three dynamic team members from the Rocky Mount Family YMCA, to explore the incredible impact the Y has on families and youth in our community. Kaila, who serves as Associate Executive Director, leads the conversation on the Y’s mission, culture, and its role as a cornerstone for health, development, and connection in the Twin Counties.

We dive into the YMCA’s youth sports programs, swim instruction, and gymnastics programs, discussing how each helps children build confidence, teamwork, and lifelong skills. Kaila, Vicky, and Madeline share stories about what makes the YMCA’s approach to youth development so special—from its emphasis on inclusivity and character-building to the sense of belonging it creates for families.

Tune in to hear how the YMCA continues to strengthen the fabric of our community through sports, wellness, and mentorship, and how families across the region can get involved in the programs shaping our next generation.
