Consistently recognized as a High Performer by HUD’s operational performance standards, we proudly offer an array of senior and family programs, such as YMCA afterschool activities, 4H, Seniors Plus lunches, WIC, ESL classes, afterschool homework assistance, and collaborative initiatives with Bates students that encompass elementary art, aspiration programs, cooking, and science education.
