In some cases, we will modify the court dimensions, equipment (racquets and balls), net height and scoring system coupled with a play component, so kids will develop better technical and tactical skills. When each of these elements is used collaboratively, kids will achieve early success and stay in the game.

GIVING This holiday season, support a local family in need

As you begin to plan your holidays, keep the Y in mind! The coming months are times for generosity, reflection and giving thanks. End of year giving opportunities include: • Making a Y For All donation in a loved one’s honor • Supporting a family at Thanksgiving. • Designating the Y as your business’s holiday charity organization. • Making a child’s dream come true with a holiday gift. At our Y, we have plenty of ways to get involved. The holidays are always busy, but we have opportunities that can help you reconnect to the true meaning of the season. To learn more, ask your local front desk or visit www.northshoreymca.org.

Social Responsibility: A Greater Cause

VOLUNTEERISM Middle School and High School Youth Sport Volunteering

Designed for students age 14 years and up to learn how to teach children’s sports classes. The first few classes will be held in conference room learning how to instruct and facilitate practice plans for sports classes. Final classes will conclude with teaching a child’s sports class. Class length 45 minutes. Prepare today for a job tomorrow. For more information, please contact Emily Hudak, Sports Director, at 781-631-9622 or hudake@ northshoreymca.org.

Give Time. Change Lives. Volunteer. The life you change may be your own. The Y works tirelessly to nurture the potential of kids, improve people’s health and well-being, and give back and support our neighbors. We rely on the help of thousands of volunteers to make that happen. There is no other volunteer organization quite like the Y. We have volunteer opportunities, right here at the Lynch/van Otterloo Y that allow you to give back and make a real difference. Currently, we have task force committees formed to develop the Y’s strategic plan for our future. The areas of focus are Childhood Obesity, Older Adults, Teens, Children’s Island, and Financial Development. If you are interested in any of these, please contact Chris Bevilacqua, Associate Executive Director, at 781-631-9622 or bevilacquac@northshoreymca.org.

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Our Y has been listening and responding to our communities’ most critical needs for over 150 years. Whether developing skills or emotional well-being, welcoming and connecting diverse populations or advocating for healthier communities, the Y fosters the care and respect all people need and deserve. We truly have a greater cause! Our Y cares for ALL in our community. It’s the socially responsible thing to do! One out of every three people in our Y needs our financial help to access essential Y programs and services. It takes the support of our entire community to help our neighbors in need. Your gift matters to the 1,600 people in our Y who need our help. The Y’s annual campaign, Y FOR ALL, is well underway. We hope you’ll consider supporting your neighbors in need with a gift. You may make an online donation by visiting www.northshoreymca.org. Together we can build stronger, more inclusive communities, provide support for families and promote positive change.

Planned Giving

The YMCA has recently launched a new planned giving initiative. Common planned gifts include a gift made through one’s will, life insurance policy, or retirement plan. All gifts benefit our endowment, a permanent fund used to support the Y. Gifts made to the endowment today will help support future generations. All those who make a gift will be invited to join the Triangle Society, our planned giving recognition society. If the Y has left a lasting impression on your life, please call Sam Sanker, Director of Planned Giving, at 978-921-1753 for more information.
