Staff Announcement: Welcome Matthew Oleson!
We’re excited to share that Matthew Oleson will be joining us as our new Health and Wellness Director at the Hays Communities YMCA, starting Monday, March 30, 2026.
Here’s a little about Matt:
“I’m excited to be back in the Buda and Hays County area—the community that raised me—and where I attended Jack C. Hays High School. The Hays Community YMCA was a big part of my upbringing and helped shape my view of what a strong, supportive community looks like. I graduated from Texas A&M University–Kingsville in 2022, where I played collegiate baseball and developed a deep appreciation for teamwork, leadership, and accountability. My experiences through baseball, working at the YMCA, and being a certified personal trainer for the past three years have fueled my passion for health, wellness, and fitness. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to return to the Hays community and am excited to give back in a meaningful way.”
Please join us in welcoming Matt to the Greater Austin YMCA! We’re thrilled to have him on the team and can’t wait to see the impact he’ll make at Hays and across our association
