To understand Paul Gorman's
impact, you don't need
spreadsheets or statistics – you
simply need to watch a child take
their first swim lesson, a senior
regain strength after surgery or a
family find belonging under one
roof. As Gorman prepares to retire
in 2026, after more than 15 years
leading the South Shore YMCA,
those everyday moments stand as
the truest measure of his legacy.
