Success Stories

The following email testimonial is from a Bangor-based, single-parent mom whose 6-year-old child enrolled full-time in the Bangor Region YMCA’s Y Academy Before and After School program in 2021. “I want to thank you again for all that you do to help our family. I have truly struggled with parenting. Unfortunately, I do not have the positive parenting skills I want, and as I am learning I have come to realize just how fortunate I am to have Brantley enrolled in such a FANTASTIC program. Brantley’s favorite thing about his day is going to the YMCA. He loves the atmosphere and so do I. (The staff) have been amazing. I struggle with social anxiety and tend to be awkward and say things that are a bit “off” and yet they treat me with such grace and kindness. They have been extremely helpful and patient. It’s very uplifting and helps me incredibly. I want you to know just how GRATEFUL we really are for the program and how much we gain from being a part of your ‘family.’ “
