Welcome, New Leadership! 

Kinny Ochoa is the new Executive Director for our East Communities center. Kinny has been at the Greater Austin YMCA for over 15 years. The past 5 years he served in leadership roles such as Associate Executive Director and most recently as Executive Director at the North Austin YMCA, where he has had incredible success connecting with his community and developing a great team. 

"I am passionate about serving my community, supporting and empowering the staff I supervise, and meeting people where they are. I value connection, collaboration, and practical support that makes a real difference. My motto is "WE over ME" it takes all of us as no one person is bigger than the team. WE will WIN together and WE will LEARN together as my core values center on family, faith in God, and a deep commitment to serving others."K.O
