Joe Gilmore

Joe has been with Countryside YMCA for more than 20 years and says his favorite memory is when he helped organize a music video with the kids in our childcare department to Kenny Loggins’ song “Footloose”. Joe sent a copy of the video to Kenny Loggins and he liked it so much that he posted it on his website and Joe even got to go backstage to meet Mr. Loggins and give him cards made by the kids. Joe says, “The Y gave me much more than a job; it gave me my family. I met my wife at the Y, and my children have been in YMCA childcare most of their lives. When I’m not at the Y, I’m probably at a Notre Dame football game, a concert, or traveling.”

The Young Men's Christian Association

Countryside YMCA is committed to emphasizing the character development of the children in our programs by focusing on five core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Faith. Staff members serve as positive role models and provide care that is supportive, nurturing, warm, and responsive to each child’s needs.
