Today is Voting Day in Lewiston, and we’re proud of our team as they show up, speak up, and participate in shaping our community.

Polls are open at Longley until 8pm and we encourage all Lewiston voters to go vote on the school budget.

No matter the issue, civic engagement matters—and every voice helps build a stronger future for our children, schools, and neighbors.

May is Water Safety Month, and at YWCA Central Maine, we believe swimming is more than a skill—it’s a lifesaving opportunity.

Every child deserves the confidence, knowledge, and access to be safe in and around water. Through swim lessons and water safety education, we’re proud to help kids build skills that can last a lifetime.

From first splashes to strong strokes, our commitment is simple: empowering children, supporting families, and making water safety accessible for all.

Happy Mother's Day!
Did you know that Julia Ward Howe, best known as the author of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” was an abolitionist, a women’s rights advocate, and a peace activist?

In 1870, horrified by the death and destruction she had witnessed during the Civil War and concerned by the Franco-Prussian war unfolding abroad, Howe issued what has come to be known as her “𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻,” originally called an “Appeal to womanhood throughout the world.” In it, Howe urged the creation of an international body of women who could find ways to avoid war and bloodshed:

“I earnestly ask that a general congress of women, without limit of nationality, may be appointed … to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.”
