The Granite YMCA

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth! Throughout the month, we decorated our lobby and donned pink to help raise awareness and spread hope. Kim B., one of our Welcome Center staff members in Manchester, also participated the Making Strides Breast Cancer Walk this past Sunday and raised over $1,700 for the cause! #BreastCancerAwareness #SupportTheFight

Not only are our staff donning pink in honor of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, but so are our members and program participants! Together, we are working to raise awareness and spread hope.

We're still going strong raising awareness for #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth at The Granite YMCA by wearing pink on Fridays. This time around, our Association Office team wanted to get in on the fun! Did you know? The Y offers a free program called LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA for adult cancer survivors, family members, and caregivers. Through this program, we create communities among cancer survivors and help guide them on their journey to reclaim their health and wellness.

🌟🎉 Exciting News from The Granite YMCA! 🎉🌟 Today marks the third day that our Granite YMCA of Somersworth Early Learning Center officially welcomes new families following our successful merger with the Early Learning Center at the YMCA of Strafford County. We couldn't be more thrilled to embrace this new chapter together! With a fantastic 98% of families transferring from our Rochester location, we're already feeling the love and energy in our refreshed space, complete with new flooring, fresh paint, improved lighting, and revamped classrooms. The best part? All of our dedicated staff have stayed with the Somersworth location, ready to provide the same nurturing environment our families are used to! 💚✨ But that's just the beginning! We're also looking forward to exciting improvements coming this spring, including a brand-new playground for our little ones to enjoy. 🌈🛝 We can’t wait to create lasting memories and connections with our new families and the Tri-City community. Here’s to growth, laughter, and countless adventures ahead! 🚀🙌 #GraniteYMCA #EarlyLearning #CommunityConnections #TriCityStrong

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, The Granite YMCA joins a global call to action to prioritize mental health in the workplace. Employed adults spend more time working than any other activity during their waking hours. At its best, work provides meaning, purpose and joy. Yet, too often, it detracts from our mental well-being. With depression and anxiety affecting workplaces globally, the Y invites you to join us in championing mental health in the workplace. Together, we can create environments where everyone has the potential to thrive! Learn more at wmhdofficial.com.
