At the Boothbay Region YMCA, we know our community is strongest when everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential and contribute their energy and talents for the greater good. We work every day to welcome, educate and make connections between people of all ages and from every walk of life, so that our changing community is united and strong.

This begins at the earliest of ages fostered by caring adults who make the youth at the Boothbay Region YMCA feel loved, competent, happy and healthy. That is why our Y staff and volunteers are also mentors and role models, sharing a part of this very important — and very inspiring — responsibility in helping youth realize who they are and what they are capable of achieving.

Achievements come at all ages. For some it is more than staying physically fit. Adults and seniors alike want to be healthier; they want to achieve that ultimate goal of being the best they can be. For some controlling their diabetes by diet and exercise is an achievement. For others improving their endurance is a feat accomplished at the Y. For many, the Y is more than physical activity, but a place of belonging, a place to share a cup of coffee and companionship. No matter the reason, the Y is here for everyone.

Your help is needed to make sure that the Y is accessible for all. Help us keep smiles on all faces from the very young to the young at heart. Won’t you consider a donation to the Annual Support Campaign this year to help us ensure that everyone has access to Y services regardless of their financial capacity?

Every gift makes a difference. Everyone has a role to play. Together, we can achieve so much more. Please give today!
