Trevor Williams Appointed Next President & CEO of the South Shore YMCA

QUINCY, MA — The South Shore YMCA is proud to announce the appointment of Trevor Williams as its next President and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2026. Williams will succeed retiring CEO Paul Gorman, who has led the organization with distinction for the past 16 years.

Trevor Williams joined the South Shore YMCA in 2020 as Chief Operating Officer, bringing over 33 years of demonstrated leadership, including 20 years within the YMCA movement. With his assistance, the organization navigated the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, rebounding to surpass pre-pandemic revenue levels and implementing a more efficient operational model that strengthened financial sustainability.

Paul Gorman reflected on the transition, saying, “Trevor is the right leader at the right time for the South Shore YMCA. His passion for our mission, his drive to accomplish transformational projects, and his dedication to strengthening the South Shore community have been evident since the day he joined our team. I’m excited to see how Trevor will build on that foundation to take the Y to even greater heights.”

Williams has overseen more than $21 million in capital investment projects since 2020, revitalizing facilities and expanding services to better meet the needs of members and the broader community. His strategic approach has driven membership growth, enhanced retention, and reimagined financial assistance programs to ensure accessibility for all.

Executive Board Chair Mike Mullin added, “Over the past six years, I’ve worked closely with Trevor and most recently partnered with him on our three-year strategic plan. His thoughtful, collaborative approach and deep understanding of our community’s needs have positioned the Y for continued success. I’m confident in his ability to lead us into the future.”

“I know I have big shoes to fill,” said Williams. “But I’m excited to continue working with our dedicated Board of Directors and talented team to bring our exciting future to life.”
