The song's refrain (you know the one) is 'Who Run The World', well here at the Y who keeps our facilities running are Moylagh Nargiso and Niki Maffettone (just don't call them girls).
Moylagh is a bona fide Y kid, having grown up at the YMCA of Montclair. She learned to swim at the Y, did camp, sports, and even cheer. Moylagh started volunteering at the Y when she was 13 and then joined the staff at 16 working at Geyer Family and then Park Street. She has done everything from kids programming, camp, membership, nursery, and even finance. But in May of 2019, she took a job as a Facilities Technician and found her passion. Moylagh loves working with her hands. She found that fixing things, making the building look better and improving the place she grew up in has been a source of real satisfaction.
Niki's childhood YMCA of Montclair experience centered on Adventure Guides. She and her dad would go to Frost Valley twice a year from elementary school through high school. After college, Niki went into the Peace Corps as a youth development volunteer focused on teaching English and sports in the Ukraine. In January of 2020, she was hired in the Y's School Age Child Care Program which was suspended in March due to COVID. In June Niki became a Facilities Technician. Niki loves the diversity of each day and seeing how each task makes the Y look and work better. She enjoys learning different trades like painting and plumbing and how to handle tools.
Together, this duo handles it all from assembling shelves to recently battling the torrential rains of Tropical Storm Fay to unclog storm drains on our roof. We could not be in better hands.
