Engaging Communities Luncheon

YWCA Greater Newburyport

Engaging Communities Luncheon

This year’s theme was “Our Children, Our Future” and we kicked the program off with a performance by kids in the YWCA’s School’s Out Program’s Music to Mission program. The students sang Count on Me, a Bruno Mars song about friendship and caring. The Music to
Mission program is designed to help students reflect on today’s issues of social concern while developing self-confidence. Ramona Preston, a School’s Out staff member spoke on how working with students transformed and empowered her life in retirement. Natalie McCarthy expressed her gratitude for the YWCA Children’s Center, both as an employee and a parent of a child in the program. These women, and all of the YWCA Greater Newburyport staff, model behavior aligned with our mission of eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

YWCA Greater Newburyport is extremely grateful to you for your support of our work in the community. Because of you, we can:

provide preschool programs that are affordable to working parents
 offer school-age programs which help children develop the social and emotional skills to succeed
promote racial justice in our community
empower women both through programming and meaningful employment that touches the lives of children

On behalf of all those who benefit from these services, and our staff and volunteers, THANK YOU!

Sincerely,
John Feehan
Executive Director
