During #AmericanEducationWeek, the Somerville Y recognizes that learning happens in school, at home and everywhere in between – including the Y! From youth sports to out-of-school time, our programming is designed to support social-emotional, cognitive and physical growth.

Come celebrate Friendsgiving with us at the Somerville Y! November 23rd from 10am-12pm we are hosting a Fall Open House that will include crafts, games, refreshments, and family fun- this event is FREE and open to the public. Thanks to our generous partner Eversource Energy , we will also have a free food pantry, including basic needs supplies, available for all! ???? #YforAll

This year as part of our #PartnersWithYouth campaign, we're challenging our community to participate in #GivingTuesday , a global day of philanthropy, and make their annual contribution between December 2-4. If we reach our goal for number of donations each day, it will unlock matching gifts for the Y! Your support makes it possible for us to provide youth with access to essential programs that support their growth and wellbeing. Share this post and tell us your Y story! ??

In honor of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, the Somerville Y encourages our community to LEARN about the contributions, achievements and struggles of the Massachusett Tribe, from whom the Commonwealth of Massachusetts took it's name.
