The YWCA Greater Newburyport has been a partner in the community for 125-years. Here’s how the YW is impacting the lives of some of your neighbors today:

“Learn to Swim’ is a great program.
My grandson went from having a fear of putting his face into the water to complete immersion in a week’s time. Liz at the YWCA Greater Newburyport is a wonderful instructor.”
– Dianne B.

“After trying several childcare settings, I came to the YWCA. Not only do my two- and four-year-olds like it, they ask to go. I love that there is no TV and they are encouraged to have “free-play” as well as read, do puzzles and complete crafts. The staff are so kind and helpful. I have peace of mind when working out at the YWCA knowing that my children are exploring, learning and being nurtured only a few rooms away.
– Mary-Rita Visconti

“I am very grateful for the special grant for my YWCA wellness plan membership – it is the best birthday present I ever had. It has been wonderful to exercise without pain in the warm water pool! The grants are so important to us senior citizens who still try to stay healthy and in shape.”
– Beverly Jones, YWCA grant beneficiary, gift of the Newburyport Society for the Relief of Aged Women

“Our YW’ is back! Many of us seniors have made long-time friends at the YW and we missed them last year during construction.
A lot of us live alone and conversation is limited. At the YWCA pool we can do two things at once: exercise and talk. The new YWCA facility is wonderful - bright, clean and accessible. The instructors are capable, helpful and fun. This makes a big difference not only to the seniors, but to everyone using the pools.”
– Barbara Sanborn
