Years later, he gets to experience the YMCA all over again through the eyes of his own son.</p><p>Along the way, Jared reflects on the importance of creating places where young people from different backgrounds can come together, find community, and begin discovering their place in the world.</p><p>🎧 Revisit Jared’s episode of <em>The Story Place</em> on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you listen.</p><p>Subscribe and share your YMCA story with us at <a href="mailto:Stories@ymca-snoco.org">Stories@ymca-snoco.org</a>.
