Melissa Bellew

President and CEO

Norm Parratt

Teen Center Coordinator

I joined the Y as a member and became a volunteer when I discovered the Y was much more than just a place to workout. I wanted to become part of an organization that encouraged 'healthy living' in a very broad and encompassing sense of the term.
