PRESS RELEASE: The Yonkers Family YMCA is pleased to announce that, Vincent Taliaferro will assume the role of Interim President and CEO.

YONKERS: With a rich background in human services spanning three decades, #VincentTaliaferro brings a wealth of experience in nonprofit operations, youth development, and substance abuse prevention.

Having dedicated over ten years to the Yonkers Family YMCA, Vincent previously served as the Senior Operations Director.

In this capacity, he played a pivotal role in overseeing significant facility improvements, including the renovation of the kitchen following a fire that impacted meal and dining programs.

Vincent’s contributions extend beyond infrastructure enhancements.

Notably, he played a key role in establishing a team that secured funding from the State of New York for Yonkers’ only youth Clubhouse program.
