In the heart of Lexington, North Carolina, one leader embodies a lifetime commitment to community and service: Jen Fuller-Allen. As the Chief Executive Officer of the J. Smith Young YMCA, Fuller-Allen is not just a figurehead; she is a local trailblazer, having been appointed in 2021 as the first female to ever lead the organization in its history. Her tenure is marked by a deep-seated passion for the Davidson County community—a commitment forged over more than two decades within the very walls of the Y she now helms.
