“Chester County is a great place to live because there is a wonderful sense of community. I hope to widen the reach of the Jennersville YMCA with programs that impact our community and enhance the lives of the people around us.”
Andy Hockenbrock joined the YMCA of Greater Brandywine as the Executive Director of the Jennersville YMCA in October 2022. With over 23 years of YMCA experience, Andy brings expertise, passion and a strong sense of community to Chester County.
Above all, Andy is drawn to the YMCA mission of creating programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. His commitment to the Y’s mission has taken him across the United States, serving communities in Arizona, Texas, Missouri, Delaware – and here in Pennsylvania.
Andy has touched a wide range of people and communities in his career with the YMCA. Most recently, Andy served as the Triangle Y Ranch Camp Executive Director. In prior years Andy led programming for youth, families, older adults, and those impacted by substance abuse.
The mission of the YMCA runs deep in Andy’s family. His father was a swim instructor at the Norristown YMCA in the 1950’s. And, Andy met his wife while working at a YMCA in Missouri.
Andy and his wife live in Quarryville with their five sons. When Andy is not at the YMCA, he is likely cooking something delicious on the smoker – and eating it, too.
