We're excited to share that Jessica Bruda is the new Executive Director of the Grand Prairie Family YMCA!

Jessica brings a strong background in YMCA leadership, including previous Executive Director roles leading the Airport, Bedford, and Eastside YMCA’s within the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth. This opportunity represents a return to branch leadership for Jessica and will allow her to re-engage directly with a community, staff team, members, and volunteers while continuing to serve the Y’s mission in a meaningful way.

In addition to leading the Grand Prairie Family YMCA as the Executive Director, Jessica will continue in her role as the Association Director of Teen Programming for the Dallas Y!

We're looking forward to seeing what Jessica will bring to Grand Prairie while continuing to maintain the momentum she has built around teen programming across our association.

Please join us in congratulating Jessica on her new role within the Dallas Y!
