Summer Fun at our Youth Programs!

Miss New Bedford 2018 visiting Girls Exclusive at Temple Landing

All of the participants of the 2018 Girls Exclusive Summer Program had a wonderful time. The girls went on many fabulous field trips such as Water Wizz and Round the Bend Farm in Dartmouth.

Aside from field trips, the girls had a great time learning about finances, social and racial justice and civic engagement by hosting and coordinating their own bake sale. All of the funds raised went towards their end of summer Water Wizz field trip. The girls also visited Congressman Bill Keating's Office for YWCA Advocacy Day. It was a great opportunity for the girls to advocate for issues important to them such as immigration and racial profiling.

Thank you Temple Landing for hosting our program this summer!

We look forward to a new school year with Girls Exclusive. For more information about the program, please contact Girls Exclusive Coordinator, Jordan Pouliot by email: [email protected] or by phone: 508-999-3255

YWkids had an outstanding summer! They went on many field trips, such as Lego Land, Southwick Zoo and Carousel. They also had onsite visitors such as Barn Babies and Mad Science! We also participated in fitness activities such as yoga and kept up with our summer reading with assistance from New Bedford Public School teachers.

YWkids is a school age program that provides services during the school year, school vacations and during the summertime. The program consists of caring and energetic staff that engage children age 5-13 with art, sports, science, awesome field trips and much more!

For more information or to enroll your child in the program, please contact YWkids Program Director, Tracey Saloman by email: [email protected] or phone at 508-525-7961.

The YWCA Under One Roof Project was finally set in motion this summer! The project is moving rather rapidly! The construction workers have been hard at work each day, despite the extreme heat, to make our dream a reality.
