Dr. T. Ramon Stuart, president of WVU Tech, welcomes Matt Bishop, Chief Operating Officer of the Beckley YMCA. This conversation explores over six decades of service from the YMCA in southern West Virginia and the deep community ties that have helped shape the lives of generations.

From youth sports and swim lessons to family wellness programmes and economic development through athletic events, the Beckley YMCA is far more than a gym. Bishop explains how the organisation has adapted over time while keeping its focus on access for everyone.
