Annual Appeal | North Andover MA

Dear Parents, Guardians and Supporters,

Each year, more than 3,000 children participate in Joseph N. Hermann Youth Center programming. They are welcomed into a safe and structured facility and are engaged in a wide range of recreation, social, adventure and educational activities that help them develop into well-rounded, positive leaders in our community. The extent of programs, services, resources and support that is available for North Andover’s youth here at the Youth Center is made possible by contributions from individuals like you.

We are very appreciative of the continued efforts and dedication of Rick Gorman, Executive Director of the Youth Center, and his staff in providing our children with an environment that promotes their wellbeing and development. The staff recognizes that each child is unique and makes every effort to ensure that all children who attend the Youth Center have an enjoyable experience and are provided the opportunity to participate in the many programs and activities that are offered.

We are also thankful for your continued support of the Youth Center. Due to generous community support, we were able to make the following enhancements to the Joseph N. Hermann Youth Center over the past year:

Expanded programming including: a high school program focused on Transformational Leadership, a year-long program to express cultural differences through art, food and music, and a photography program that included the purchase of photography equipment.
Professional Development for the full-time staff at the Youth Center to expand on their leadership skills.
New equipment and enhancements including: metal picnic tables and trash cans for the outdoor grounds, couches for the Lounge, Bubble Balls for Bubble Soccer events, 2-person kayaks to expand the kayaking program, and the resurfacing of the outdoor street hockey court.
And as always, financial support to North Andover youth who are unable to afford the membership or program fees.

We are asking for your financial support so we can continue to implement new programs, upgrade equipment, and make other enhancements in the coming year. Your contribution, no matter the amount, is greatly appreciated. It is not only an investment in this great facility, but also in the youth of North Andover.

Sincerely,
Rick Green

President, JNHYC Board of Directors
