Calling all Leaders!

Get Involved, Make a Difference

A Community for Teens

All kids have great potential. Learn more about our Leaders Clubs, enrolling now. These clubs (for middle and high school students) are designed to give young adults the opportunity to envision and pursue a positive future, and they give kids a chance to take an active role in strengthening their community.

Our goal is to help Leaders Club members develop the qualities of a leader and gain valuable life skills, thereby setting members up for success in whatever they look to achieve or accomplish. We are an active bunch that accepts everyone for who they are and encourage our members to be themselves. We are silly, we are goofy and we are proud of who we are. We establish a judgment-free environment to help members feel comfortable in their own skin and be themselves. Too often today’s youth have to deal with peer pressures at school and among friends: feeling forced to alter the way they act, walk, talk, think, and dress. Not here! In Leaders, you are encouraged to be YOU. In your purest form.

A major component of the club is our commitment to volunteerism. We require all members to complete 6 hours of service every month. Not only does this show us the value of giving back, but it also feels really good to know that because of YOU someone else is better off. In addition to giving back to the community, we also ensure tons of fun for all! Be prepared to attend lock-ins and overnights at the Y, go on field trips and visit other YMCA’s for fun and excitement… while meeting new people and making lifelong friends.

JR LEADERS: middle school ages. SR LEADERS: high school ages. Meetings are held weekly. Leaders Club is FREE for Hockomock YMCA members ($5 for non-members). Registration packets are available at Member Services.

How to Prevent Diabetes? YDPP Classes This Fall

Diabetes is a serious condition that causes blood sugar levels to rise higher than normal. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Currently, diabetes affects more than 29 million people.

Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Risk for developing type 2 diabetes may be reduced or eliminated by weight loss, healthier eating and increased physical activity. More than 86 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk of developing diabetes.

Prediabetes may be reversible; diabetes has no cure. Fortunately, our Diabetes Prevention Program is designed to support adults at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and to reduce their risk for developing the disease.

THIS COULD BE LIFE-CHANGING. JOIN US!

North Attleboro Y: begins Wednesday 9/7 at 1:00pm; also offered Thursdays at 6:00pm (beginning 9/22)

Franklin Y: begins Monday 10/3 at 12:30pm; also offered Wednesdays at 6:00pm (beginning 10/5)

Not sure if this is for you?

There is a great tool for prediabetes and type 2 risk assessment at YMCA.net/diabetes. Risk factors include: race, age, weight and activity level. A diabetes screening can also be conducted by your physician.

If you are at risk for diabetes, our YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program (YDPP) is designed to help reduce that risk. The Program uses a CDC-approved curriculum and is part of the CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program. The year-long program consists of 16 weekly sessions and three sessions every other week during the first six months followed by 6 monthly sessions in the second six months. A trained lifestyle coach helps participants learn tactics for healthy eating, physical activity and other lifestyle changes.

YDPP resulted from a study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which showed how healthier eating, increasing physical activity and losing a modest amount of weight could lead to better health in participants and an overall reduction of new type 2 diabetes cases.

The goal of the program is to help adults at risk for diabetes reduce their body weight by 5 to 7 percent and increase their physical activity to 150 minutes per week. Studies have shown that programs like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program can prevent or delay new cases of type 2 diabetes in adults by 58 percent and by as much as 71 percent in those over age 60.

We are proud to offer this program – which has strengthened over 1,400 communities in 44 states – at no cost to Sturdy Memorial Hospital patients (including anyone with a medical provider associated with Sturdy Memorial Hospital). For other patients diagnosed with prediabetes, finnanical assistance is available. Please call Donna Higgins at 508-772-1310 or phl@hockymca.org with any questions. You may also wish to contact your medical provider for a referral.

Louise’s Story – Weigh to Change!

We are excited to announce that all 3 of our branches will now offer a 10-week weight loss program called Weigh to Change following the success of our Foxboro spring program where 31 members lost a total of 267 pounds and 318.5 inches. Our fall program begins September 12th and will run through November 19th.

Meet Louise McAuliffe, one of our success stories from our spring program. She lost a total of 16lbs. and 28.1 inches. Here is her story:

10 weeks ago I was introduced to the Weigh to Change motto, “I do this for me.” I have 3 jobs: wife, mom & employee… at my best I can do those jobs well at any given time. However, notice there is no mention of “me”.

I was overweight, unmotivated, stressed out, & often grumpy. I was making terrible food choices & definitely not practicing portion control. Focusing on my family & job has always made it difficult for me to fit in any type of exercise,.. but I know that was just an excuse. I read about the Weigh to Change program on my Y’s Facebook page & decided to call for info.

So many things appealed to me about the program… the early mornings, 1 night a week, early Saturdays, the nutritionist, the support. I decided to sign up even before the information night.

I love the program. It’s a lot of work, but boy, it was worth it! I felt great after each session. The comraderie of fellow participants & support from coaches were amazing. I learned so much. I now add veggies to smoothies for a delicious breakfast, have salad for lunch almost every day, and eat smaller portions of healthy food for dinner.

I am thrilled to say that I have lost a total of 16 lbs. & 28.1 inches! I now wear clothes I haven’t worn in years, & people are taking notice! My 13 year old daughter exclaimed, “Mom, you’re sticking with it this time, you look great!” My 8 year old daughter wants to come to classes with me. I have even lowered my blood pressure. This program has given me so much energy & I deal with my stress so much easier. I feel great! I am so glad I chose to “do this for me!”

Where Community Comes Together

Summer continues to be an exciting time at our YMCA.

On Sunday, July 24th our Hockomock Area YMCA Triathlon was held at Lake Pearl with nearly 300 participants braving the high temperature and humidity.

A highlight of the day was the participation of a group of 8 cancer survivors from our LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program competing as a group on a course that traveled from Lake Pearl in Wrentham, through the towns of Norfolk and Franklin.

The group trained together for weeks. For some, they participated only months after treatments and surgeries, a true testament to the power and inspiration of this life-changing program we are so proud to offer.

Upon completion of the race, the courage and perseverance of our brave cancer survivors was transformed into incredible spirit and emotion among all those gathered at the finish line cheering them on, clearly inspired by their purpose and accomplishment.

The Milford Summer Food Service Program, a collaborative community initiative, continues to flourish with the goal of ensuring children have access to the food they deserve. The Hockomock Area YMCA serves as the project coordinator and provides staff and overall project management in parternship with the Milford Area Humanitarian Coalition. As of mid-August more than 5,000 meals have been served to children and families in the greater Milford region.

On Monday, August 8th, the families visiting the Memorial Elementary site in Milford were treated to a surprise thanks to the generosity of the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation and Patriot Place as Pat Patriot entertained 85 kids and adults with pictures and autographs.

Brian Earley, General Manager of Patriot Place and Chairman of the Hockomock Area YMCA’s Board of Directors, presented the kids with 200 New England Patriots children’s books to take home and enjoy.

Milford Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Kevin McIntyre and Assistant Superintendent Craig Consigli treated the children to a reading of the book while Pat Patriot acted out the scenes to the chants of “Let’s Go Patriots!”

This summer, more than 1,000 kids a day are enjoying their “best summer ever” at our camps at locations in Bellingham, Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield, and North Attleboro.

Summer campers from our Invensys Foxboro Branch were graciously welcomed to the Xfinity Center for a special tour of the facility by General Manager Jeff Mann – a valued Hockomock Area YMCA volunteer. They also had the opportunity to perform on stage.

Recently summer camp counselors were asked to reflect on their experiences and I’d like to close this month’s eNews with a couple of their responses.

“At camp we have kids from all different backgrounds. We have kids with a wide range of disabilities and special needs ranging from Down Syndrome to kids on the Autism Spectrum. And regardless of what disability they have, they still have an amazing time, making friends and participating at camp.” – Camp New Horizons Coordinator Colin Quinn

“I think at summer camp it’s really important for kids to make connections with other kids their age outside of a school environment…so inside a classroom they obviously know a lot of people but outside of the classroom at camp it’s so different. You get to play a million and ten games every week and get those connections outside of a learning environment where they get to learn about teamwork and about what it means to be a good friend.” – Camp Elmwood Group Leader Matty Greeley

I’m proud of our impact as a cause driven organization and the work we are doing to bring community together to make a difference in the lives of all those we serve. Thank you for continuing to make that impact possible.

President, Hockomock Area YMCA

New Programs for Fall 1

We’re gearing up for a fantastic Fall 1 session!

Fall 1 runs:
Sept 12 – Oct 30

Enjoy a variety of programs for everyone in your family.

Over the summer, we (and probably you) have been incredibly inspired watching Team USA in Rio and now we’re excited to see the ripple effect as members in our community decide they too want to work hard in their athletic pursuits. At the YMCA, our programs are designed to help every individual achieve their potential, while learning the benefits of responsibility and respect for teammates, coaches, and all individuals providing support in ways big and small. What a fantastic tradition the summer games are!

As we move into fall, here are our Top Three Program suggestions:


# 3 GYMNASTICS CLASSES

Perhaps nothing is better than gymnastics for helping kids to develop balance and coordination, plus the confidence that’s won as a child takes on new challenges. All of our gymnastics classes use age-appropriate equipment, and our teaching program works with kids of all abilities.

Is your child a future Olympian? Explore the excitement that comes with representing your YMCA in state, regional, and national meets. What a blast our competitive team gymnasts had travelling this summer to California to compete in the YMCA National Gymnastics Championships. At all levels, our gymnasts are putting forth the effort of champions, including boys who join us in recreational classes and toddlers who enjoy classes with a parent or guardian.

# 2 YOUTH SPORTS LEAGUES

The Y is a great place to learn to love a sport and our upcoming fall leagues mean kids can have fun outdoors, while taking advantage of the best time of year to live (and be active outdoors) in New England. Try flag football, soccer, t-ball or cheerleading and be part of our Team YMCA. Don’t miss our early bird savings. When you sign up by the end of day Sunday August 28, you’ll save $15 per sport per child.

Our sports leagues emphasize skill development and the importance of good sportsmanship. Everyone plays and learns. A team sports shirt, cheer uniform, or football jersey is provided with registration. Family event will also be included to end the season in celebration of all athletes.

# 1 SWIM LESSONS & SWIM TEAM

Swimming is a life skill as well as great exercise and a challenging sport. We are passionate about making everyone confident and safe around the water, so we have swim lessons for all ages. Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. We are delighted by what Giovanni says about his swim lessons.

Transitioning back to school might mean it’s a good time to try something new. Explore our intramural and competitive swim programs, which are very popular. John Alberta grew up swimming at the Y and can do the butterfly as beautifully as the swimmers we watched in Rio. Here is John’s Y story. We are thrilled to learn John completed a successful first year swimming for the Engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and wish him well in the year ahead.

There’s more… Yes!

We now offer DANCE CLASSES in an extended 15-week session.

You talked, we listened: Fall 1 dance classes in Foxboro and North Attleboro will run through the end of December, culminating with our holiday performances. Note, we still offer 7-week classes in Franklin (if this is your preference, we just ask you to keep an eye on the Stay Updated section of our website for Fall 2 registration reminders at the end of September).

Nutrition Coaching is now offered at our YMCA.

And we offer lots of options for helping kids and families make good choices in the every-day areas of their lives. Read more here.


Fall 1 runs 7 weeks, with the following exceptions:

  • No classes held on Columbus Day (10/10/16).
    Monday class participants will see a reduced fee in their cart when compared to the same class running on other days of the week to reflect one fewer class.
  • In Foxboro only… our Fall 1 session begins on Sunday 9/11/16.
    If you’re registering for a Sunday class in Foxboro, please note that you will come a week early and that you will NOT come to class on the day of the Foxboro 5K (10/9/16). This allows a 7-week class and the ability for you to take part in our annual 5K/Fun Run and Family Day. Read more on the Foxoboro 5K here.
  • Sports Leagues kick off the weekend of Sept. 16. Season runs: September 16 – November 6, 2016. Teams will enjoy 3 weeks of practice, followed by 5 weeks of games.

Announcing the start of our fall Weigh to Change Program

We are excited to announce that all 3 of our branches will now offer a 10-week weight loss program called Weigh to Change following the success of our Foxboro spring program where 31 members lost a total of 267 pounds and 318.5 inches. Our fall program begins September 12th and will run through November 19th.

Meet Jed Neureuter, winner and one of our success stories from our spring program. He lost a total of 30 lbs. and 43.9 inches. Here is his story:

“As a result of the Weigh to Change program, I feel great! If I were to sum it up, the program was all about education for me. Now I know how to eat well and exercise properly.

The nutrition component was eye opening. The Styku scans, calorie counting, nutritional food recommendations and supermarket tours were all learning opportunities…I now know better what, when and how much to eat.

The personal training component has me hooked on exercise to complement my improved diet. I learned what Burpees and Pilates are, and even how to Spin. With Michelle, I learned how to do TRX and a new meaning of “sweet sixteen” among several others. The Y staff personalized my workouts and kept them interesting, introducing new exercises, stretching, foam rolling and the Sprint 8. I’ve experienced just about every exercise contraption the Y offers and I’m not longer intimidated to try the group exercise classes.

I know how to eat well, how to exercise properly and realize it’s just the start. The Hockomock Y has put together a great program framework and a great supportive team. I couldn’t be happier to have been part of this program.”

Youth Leadership at the Y

Through our leadership programs, the Y makes sure that every child has an opportunity to envision and pursue a positive future, and to take an active role in strengthening community. Our Leaders Clubs develop youth ages 12 to 18 as leaders while fostering a culture of service. Learn about the experiences these teens have had at our Y:

Lindsey DeRusha, a 2016 King Philip Regional High School graduate, began her journey with the Hockomock Area YMCA at age 11. The Y soon became her second home. Lindsey was a Counselor-in-Training, and later a camp counselor. Lindsey has been part of the Invensys Foxboro Branch’s Leaders Club for four years, serving on the Executive Board for three years. This year she was the Club President. Lindsey is most proud of her role in the “Be a Star” project. Leaders from all over the region planned and provided a senior luncheon, helped at an elderly housing community, and assisted at food pantries, homeless shelters, and domestic abuse centers. “I am proud of who the Y has made me and who it’s let me be,” shares Lindsey. “I try to positively impact everyone I meet. It’s through the Y that I have learned to do that.” Lindsey was this year’s Youth of the Year for the Invensys Foxboro Branch.

Samantha Bellavance, a 2016 graduate of Franklin High School, is another model of someone who cares and gives back to their community. She describes herself as a “Y lifer,” since she started going to the Y at age 3. Active in the Y’s Leaders Club, Sam has spent an astonishing 2,000 hours performing community service. She was also active in the School’s Out program, where she was a group leader for the before and after school child care at the Y. This year’s Youth of the Year for the Bernon Family Branch, Sam credits the Y for helping instill in her important values, asserting that “I learned to focus on others. I was inspired to be honest and super respectful. I don’t know what my life would be like without the Y.”

Lindsay Robinson, the North Attleboro Branch Youth of the Year, serves to be another example of a young Y member with both leadership skills and compassion for others. A North Attleboro resident, Lindsay’s first experiences at the Y came when she was a child. Her passion for gymnastics began at our Y and she has progressed to become an exceptional gymnast earning many accolades for her dedication and skill. “I’m most proud of the life skills I’m learning at the Y. They take an interest in me and encourage me to reach for success through hard work,” beams Lindsay. Recognized as a leader in the gym with a strong work ethic and friendly demeanor, Lindsay has also earned a reputation outside the gym for giving back to her community. Last year, Lindsay organized a leotard resale campaign for her Bat Mitzvah project to raise funds for our Y’s Reach Out For Youth and Families Campaign. Lindsay has also donated time to many other causes like Lenore’s Food Pantry, Clean North Attleboro, and our annual ROFY Flip Fest.
