MY Y STORY - JAYDEN

August, 2018

2018.7.5 Andre All Star Swimmer Jayden.j
MEET JAYDEN
HE SWIMS AT THE Y 

When Andre’s All Star Member, Jayden expressed an interest in joining swim team,

Y staff responded. Jayden has been practicing with the swim team since May. A

natural athlete, 12 year old Jayden came in 3rd place in the 50 FREE event at the

June 30th swim meet earning 16 points for the Barracuda team. When teen

coordinator Craig followed up to find out how the meet went, Jayden responded:

“I want to work harder and do better.” Without the gift of an Andre’s All Star

Membership, Jayden may not have had a chance to be a part of the Middlesex YMCA

Barracuda swim team.  Thank you Andre for making an impact on Jayden’s life!

The Drummond Foundation gift of $10,000 makes it possible for the Y to have a staff member dedicated as the Teen coordinator to engage youth as well as offer membership scholarships to qualifying youth to have access to the Y. The generous support of donors like Andre Drummond has resulted in an increased number of teens attending evening teen nights and using the facility as a safe place to hang out and build relationships with Y staff. Volunteers from the community, as well as Y Board of Directors, Staff and members have all been inspired by the work of our teen coordinator to get more involved in helping support teen programming.

Our Commitment to Inclusion:

 

The Y is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities. Together we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation, has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity. Our core values are caring, honesty, respect and responsibility—they guide everything we do.

The Northern Middlesex YMCA does not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, including the use of bathrooms and locker rooms. YMCA patrons are permitted to use the bathroom and locker room of their gender identity. If any patron would prefer more privacy, that patron may use our co-ed locker room and/or our individual bathrooms located in the Lobby or Family center. The YMCA is committed to adapting our policies as we continue to evolve and create a more inclusive environment for all.
