Most recently, Andy served as the Triangle Y Ranch Camp Executive Director. In years prior, Andy led programming for youth, families, older adults, and those impacted by substance abuse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andy\u2019s work creates a lasting impact on those that he serves. As he explains, \u201cAt the YMCA, we have an impact every day. We might not see that impact immediately, but it is there \u2013 and it is important. Every toddler that we teach to swim today prevents accidental drownings years down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mission of the YMCA runs deep in Andy\u2019s family. His father was a swim instructor at the Norristown YMCA in the 1950\u2019s. And, Andy met his wife while working at a YMCA in Missouri. Andy and his wife live in Quarryville with their five sons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, Andy Hockenbrock joined the YMCA of Greater Brandywine as the Executive Director of the Jennersville YMCA.
