Brandon Bennett
From the Twin Cities to Waterloo—with stops across the globe in between—Brandon Bennett brings a world of experience and a passion for people to everything he does. As Executive Director of Programs for the Family YMCA of Black Hawk County, Brandon’s journey has taken him from Everest Base Camp to local ballfields, from safari trails to summer camps—all driven by one mission: helping kids and families thrive, connect, and grow stronger together.
Welcome back to “Community Pulse: The YMCA Series”—your monthly spotlight on impact, inspiration, and the people powering positive change right here in Black Hawk County. This season, we’re diving into summer at the Y—where early learning, youth sports, aquatics, and camps come alive for kids of all ages. From first swim strokes to lifelong friendships, it’s all happening right now—and it’s all for everyone.
Whether he’s leading programs, supporting families, or cheering on the Minnesota home teams, Brandon brings energy, heart, and a little competitive spirit to the table (just ask about that fourth-grade three-point title). Today, we’re talking summer, community, and how the Y continues to show up in big ways for the people it serves every single day.
