"Dream Team" Boosts Rye Y Programs for Youth
|

Rye YMCA programs for families, children and teens received a shot of adrenaline in 2015 with the addition of three new staff members who are bringing energy, passion and fresh ideas to the Y's youth offerings. From the recently opened ExerZone to teen nights that are drawing up to 70 kids every month, the Y is giving families and children more options than ever.
Much of the new programming and activities are being led by John Rice, the Y's Camp, Family and Teen Director; Kelly Lewin, Child Care Director; and Brendan Smith, Sports Coordinator. Read more
