About us
Website: www.oldcolonyymca.org Twitter: @OldColonyYMCA Facebook: www.facebook.com/oldcolonyymca.org Instagram: @oldcolonyy YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/oldcolonyymca Since 1887, Old Colony Y (OCY) has worked tirelessly to effect lasting personal and social change. Old Colony YMCA is a charitable, non-profit Association committed to the development of strong spirit, mind, and body, guided by Judeo-Christian principles, to enrich the quality of life for everyone in our communities. We believe that our mission is to assist all people to develop to their fullest potential and to respond to ever-changing community needs with a focus on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We are a regional provider of human services and health and wellness programming for children, families, adults, and seniors from many diverse communities. At OCY, we view traditional YMCA services – like fitness, swimming, child care, and camp – through an alternate lens; beyond their explicit benefits to the health and wellness of our members and participants, they are also an opportunity for deeper engagement. Last year the Y served more than 141,000 people throughout Southeastern Massachusetts at branches in Brockton, East Bridgewater, Easton, Plymouth, Middleboro, Stoughton, and Taunton. While most Ys have a focus on positive youth development, Old Colony Y is unique in our commitment to serve the most “at risk” members of our community, ensuring that everyone has access to OCY services if they should need them. We are committed to strengthening our capacity to respond to changing communities and ensure that everyone (including persons of diverse culture, ethnicity, religion, ability, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic level, and skill) have access and are welcomed and fully engaged. OCY is governed by a 62 member Board who are active, with committees that provide oversight to all aspects of our operations including a Fiscal Committee, a Program Committee which reviews program and quality compliance, as well as tracking progress on strategic planning goals. We are purposefully working toward ensuring that our board and staff are reflective of the communities we serve. As a diverse organization of people joined together by a shared commitment to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grown and thrive, we strive to provide employment and volunteer opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds. We offer a vast menu of services and community programs, including: • Seven full-facility branches (Brockton – Central/Youth, Easton, East Bridgewater, Middleboro, Plymouth, Stoughton, and Taunton) • A multi-site child care branch (Community Based Child Care) operating 48 sites daily • Five summer camps (Camp Clark, Camp Satucket, Camp Yomechas, YMCA Camp in Stoughton, and Camp Massasoit) • A branch serving families experiencing homelessness (Family Services) • A branch focused on chronic disease and well-being initiatives (Healthy Living) • Residential/non-residential branch programs for adolescents (Social Services)

Huge shoutout to Verizon Authorized Retailer, TCC for donating 100 backpacks for our Back to School Campaign & Donation Drive here at the Old Colony YMCA. Working within the Public Schools for many years, I have personally seen the need for supplies. To some, may not be a big deal, but coming to school on your first day prepared is certainly a recipe for success. Thank you, not only to Verizon Authorized Retailer, TCC, but to all of our members and staff here in East Bridgewater who have given to our Back to School Campaign & Donation Drive.

Last week, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of our Plymouth YMCA Golf Tournament at the White Cliffs Country Club, raising groundbreaking funds that will help ensure hundreds of children have the BEST SUMMER EVER. This incredible achievement was made possible by the generosity of our golfers, sponsors, donors, and OCY staff. A special shoutout to White Cliffs Country Club for 20 years of unwavering support and to our planning committee for making this event a success! ⛳ View photos of the event here: https://lnkd.in/eaHVjS7K

Old Colony Y’s Back to School campaign provides children and families experiencing homelessness with new school supplies, backpacks, and clothes to start the school year off right! We want the children in our Y programs to look and feel their best - and not be labeled “homeless” because they have clothes that are ill-fitting or worn and torn. Here are a few ways you can help us make a difference this school year: 👉 SPONSOR A CHILD or DONATE ONLINE and we’ll do the shopping for you! Learn more by visiting https://lnkd.in/eW4WupJJ 👉 REPOST & SHARE this post to help us spread awareness. The first day of school is one of our favorite times of year at the Y - seeing children excited for the new school year brings a huge smile to our faces! Thank you for your help. #backtoschool #oldcolonyy

Being able to get the full team together not only provides an opportunity for networking, but to lay out a vision and where we are heading together. This past weekend, the Taunton Branch of the Old Colony YMCA held a full staff meeting to celebrate the successes we have had the last year and lay out how we are going to best serve our members going forward, all while having a few laughs and some good food. Feeling lucky to be part of such an awesome team here in Taunton and looking to forward to seeing where the future takes us!

This past Thursday, Old Colony YMCA celebrated the Grand Opening of the Y Community Market at its Stoughton Branch. This food insecurity effort allows individuals the opportunity to better select the items they wish to receive based on diet, allergies or cultural preferences. It was a great afternoon with volunteers and community members on hand to join in on the celebration. Thank you to the many donors and volunteers including Greater Boston Food Bank, All Town Fresh, the Bridgewater State University alumni chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, and The League School for their support.
