Meeting Waters YMCA strengthens the foundations of communities in the Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, Springfield and Fall Mountain regions by fostering youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
We are the area's largest provider of state-licensed school-age child care and day camp programs, as well as the largest employer of teens and young adults in the region's non-profit social services sector.
While one of the smallest of the 2,700 YMCAs in America (by budget), we are national models within the movement. In 2014, we were one of just 18 Ys named "HEPA Champions" by Y-USA for our deep commitment to healthy eating and physical activity policies and practices in our Y-ASPIRE after-school program. In 2015, we were chosen by Y-USA as one of 9 Ys in the country with exceptional Family Engagement practices. In 2011, our Healthy Communities Coalition was selected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Y-USA as one of four "model success stories" in the country for healthy communities initiatives.
Founded in 1895 and led by a volunteer board of directors and just three full-time staff leaders, Meeting Waters YMCA is one of the few "non-facility" Ys among the nearly 2,700 independent YMCAs in America, today. The combination of these attributes has us recognized within the Y movement for our innovative, community-responsive progams and services.
A What Else Mag publicou sua primeira matéria em 2016 e consiste em um projeto visual brasileiro com olhar internacional, que nasceu da vontade de apresentar o melhor da informação de moda e lifestyle percebido mundo a fora, produzido para o homem jovem, inteligente, criativo e que está sempre buscando novos desa os.
Todos os dias, em nossas páginas, celebramos a moda, cultura, a beleza e o cotidiano das diferentes pessoas com diferentes estilos, que ocupam o espaço urbano em busca de expressar sua individualidade. Pluralidade é palavra de ordem para nós.
Nosso maior objetivo é reconhecer a autenticidade no comportamento e busca do estilo de cada um, aprendendo com a rua e entregando novas opções de mixar e construir suas próprias identidades de forma livre, democrática. A nossa missão é dar voz ao novo. Proporcionar um canal efervescente desenhado para quem está disposto a ver e ser visto.
Com um posicionamento ambicioso, trabalhamos com aquilo que acreditamos ser o caminho que a nossa geração está trilhando, usando as novas tecnologias e meios digitais para nos comunicar e interagir com esses jovens, entendendo-os e capacitando-os a serem eles mesmos. Isso é o “else” que todos buscamos. We are now!
