Bath YMCA Donates 25 Youth Memberships to Midcoast Youth Center to Strengthen Local Students
In a generous gesture to support the health and well-being of local youth, the Bath Area Family YMCA is partnering with Midcoast Youth Center (MYC) to provide 25 youth memberships to local students. These memberships will be provided to students who are active participants in programs at MYC and do not have the necessary means to gain access to a YMCA membership.
The Bath YMCA and the Midcoast Youth Center share a common mission to support the holistic development of youth in the region. This donation will help nurture healthy, responsible, and engaged young people who are equipped to face the challenges of today’s world.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with the Midcoast Youth Center in providing these memberships to deserving students in our community,” said Rob Gray, CEO of the Bath Area Family YMCA. “The YMCA is committed to building a stronger, healthier community, and by supporting the growth and development of young people, we’re fostering future leaders who will make a lasting impact.”
The donation aims to encourage physical fitness, mental wellness, and a sense of community engagement for local youth. The YMCA’s contribution will allow MYC to amplify services to more young people, offering them the opportunity to access a wide range of fitness programs, educational activities, and wellness resources available at the Bath YMCA. The donation was made possible through generous contributions by Robert Wheeler, Paul Coulombe, and the Schacknow Family Foundation.
“Our partnership with the Bath YMCA is invaluable in helping improve access to valuable resources for the young people we serve,” said Jamie Dorr, Executive Director of the Midcoast Youth Center. “These memberships will open doors for students who might not otherwise have access to the Y’s programs that support their physical, social, and emotional development. We are grateful for the YMCA’s generosity and their continued investment in our community.”
MYC will work closely with local schools and community organizations to identify youth who will benefit most from this opportunity. Applications will be received until the end of December and participants will be notified January 6th. To apply or learn more about the free YMCA membership email Nicole@midcoastyouth.org.
