✨ FEEL GOOD FRIDAY: Meet Makayla! ✨
This Friday, we’re celebrating one of the newest members of our YMCA Advisory Council — Makayla Jackson! 💙
Makayla’s connection to the Y is exactly what community is all about. After moving to Tulsa without family nearby, the YMCA became much more than a place to work out — it became part of her village.
From pool days and youth sports to Parents’ Night Out, special events, childcare and even a little quiet time to recharge, Makayla says the Y has become a staple for her and her son over the last three years.
🏙️ Her favorite thing about Tulsa?
“Every day feels like an adventure! There is always something new to try, explore and learn. There truly is a place and space for everyone.”
💙 Her favorite thing about the Y?
The family-centered community and the impact it has made on her and her son's quality of life.
And now, Makayla is bringing that perspective, passion and lived experience to our Advisory Council as a volunteer; helping us continue building spaces where more families can connect, belong and thrive.
We’re so excited to have you at the table, Makayla. Welcome to the team! 👏💙
