I’m sure you’ve seen me around by now—I’m excited to officially introduce myself as the new Youth and Family Engagement Director at the Williams County YMCA. My name is Olivia Begin, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role. I’m passionate about creating meaningful, engaging experiences for kids and families, and I look forward to supporting our programs and growing alongside this amazing community.

I grew up just north of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and attended Ferris State University. After college, I moved to Saint Paul, Minnesota, where I spent just over two amazing years soaking in the beauty of the Midwest. Now, my fiancé, Taylor, and I are putting down roots in Ohio, where we recently bought our first home together—a small farm that seems to grow a little more each day—never a dull moment! Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, hiking, and backpacking whenever I can.

I’m thrilled to be stepping into this role and can’t wait to get to know each of you better. Please feel free to say hello or reach out any time!
