At the Merrimack Valley YMCA, we know our most valuable assets are our staff and the programs they have developed in support of the community. With that in mind, this year we launched the Innovate for Impact program, which invited employees to come up with an idea for a new program or initiative, work on a proposal, and pitch it to a panel of judges. In all, nearly a dozen new project ideas were pitched by staff members, either working alone or in teams. In a ceremony on March 10, 2020, four projects were awarded mini-grants to help make these ideas a reality.
