“Don’t feel bad for one moment about doing what brings you joy.” – Rhysand, A Court of Mist & Fury

Executive Director Abby Olds is so excited to be here at the Pemi Youth Center! She fell in love with the town of Plymouth when she came to PSU for school. After graduating with a Youth Development degree, she stayed in the area she’d begun to call “home,”. Abby worked as a Site Director in Andover, NH for five years, where she loved building meaningful relationships with youth and creating safe, engaging spaces that encouraged confidence, creativity, and leadership. While she cherished being part of that community, she felt called to bring that same dedication and heart back to Plymouth and to the youth at PYC.
When Abby is not at PYC, you can find her crocheting, reading, or playing video games with her two cats by her side!

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” – Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban

Site Coordinator Hailey McMahon was welcomed to the PYC community June of 2025. She fostered a connection with the town of Plymouth and its residents in 2017 and throughout her studies at Plymouth State University. After the pandemic, Hailey earned her certification to be a licensed child care professional as well as a Traveling Group Leader for preschool and after-school programs of Lake’s Region and Central NH. Hailey provided services most regularly between Laconia and Andover for 5 years before deciding to dedicate herself to one location, Pemi Youth Center! Here she can grow professionally alongside the community which sparked her love for mental health advocacy as well as the empowerment of youth. Outside of work, she enjoys live stand-up comedy, all things fantasy/scifi, escaping to the white mountains where her family resides, and discovering new restaurants— usually on wheels!
