Inclusion Programming at the Merrimack Valley YMCA

Much of Merrimack Valley YMCA programming is directed by their Inclusion Task Force. While this Task Force was on hiatus during the pandemic, they are now in the process of reconvening this important group. In order to be successful in the redevelopment of our Inclusion Task Force, they will need time to rework and redevelop. They are in the process of developing a partnership with the Methuen Superintendent of Schools to develop inclusive programming at the Andover/N. Andover YMCA. The funding from the Tower Foundation will allow them staff time to develop, in conjunction with Methuen Public Schools, this new inclusive programming.
