Y Staff Shoutout to celebrate a HUGE accomplishment! 🩷 Zena Ruiz, our STEAM Program Director at the Homewood-Brushton YMCA, has been honored and recognized in Pittsburgh Magazine's 40 Under 40! The STEAM Program in the Y Creator Space ensures everyone has a chance to learn and gain real-world experience through exciting, hands-on activities and projects. Without Zena's work and the work of our Homewood-Brushton staff, this program wouldn't be possible– join us in sending her a HUGE congratulations! 🥳
