Today we celebrate the strength, leadership, and impact of women in our community and around the world.

At the Methuen Youth & Community Center, we are proud to create spaces where young women and girls can discover their voice, build confidence, and grow into the leaders they are meant to be. From youth leadership through MYVoice, to creative arts, mentorship, and career exploration opportunities, we are committed to investing in the next generation of changemakers.

We also recognize and celebrate the women who support this work every day, our staff, volunteers, partners, educators, mothers, mentors, and community leaders who continue to lift others up and open doors for the future.

When women lead, communities thrive.

Today and every day, we honor the women and girls who inspire progress, courage, and possibility.

Today is national marching band day and a few of our MyVoice Members is apart of Methuen High’s team! We here at the community center are so proud of Nora, Riham, Jerelyn, and the band!

“The MHS marching band experience is a mix of hard work, pride, and unforgettable performances, led by two amazing band directors and supported by a great group of staff. Every year is a new experience with a new group of people and a new show. Throughout the marching season, we work to better ourselves individually and collectively.

It’s also so much fun, filled with unforgettable memories. The people are truly incredible, and being surrounded by such supportive and talented friends makes it feel like family.”

💙 As we close out Black History Month, we are proud to highlight the voices, brilliance, and leadership of our MyVoice youth. This week, one of our members, Giana, shared an inspiring article about trailblazer Mae Jemison.

“Mae Jemison is a physician, engineer, and former astronaut who made history as the first Black woman to travel to space. Born on October 17, 1956, in Decatur, Alabama, and raised in Chicago, she developed a love for science at a young age. Jemison earned a degree in chemical engineering from Stanford University and later received her medical degree from Cornell University. Her academic excellence and determination set the foundation for her groundbreaking career.
In 1987, Jemison was selected to join NASA’s astronaut corps. Five years later, in 1992, she flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on mission STS-47. During the eight-day mission, she conducted experiments related to life sciences and material science, helping scientists better understand how space affects the human body and other systems. Her journey into space was not just a personal achievement but a powerful moment of representation in science and exploration.
After leaving NASA, Jemison continued to advocate for science education, especially for young people and underrepresented communities. She founded organizations focused on improving STEM education and encouraging curiosity, creativity, and innovation. Mae Jemison’s legacy extends far beyond her historic flight—she remains a role model who proves that passion, perseverance, and education can truly launch someone to the stars."

At MYCC, this is what youth leadership looks like: researching, sharing stories that matter, and uplifting role models who open doors for future generations. We are so proud of Giana and all of our MyVoice members who are using their voices to educate, empower, and create change.

The future is bright because our youth are already leading 💙

💙 Happy National Leadership Day!

Today, we’re celebrating leadership in action, especially the young leaders in our MyVoice program who are learning every day what it means to lead with courage, empathy, and purpose.

At MYCC, leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about using your voice, supporting others, and helping create change in your community. We are so proud to share a few reflections on leadership from our MyVoice members, who continue to inspire us with their honesty, creativity, and heart.

The future is in good hands 💙

💙 Spreading love and kindness in our community!

Our MyVoice youth came together to create handmade Valentine’s cards for our friends at Texas Roadhouse. It was a beautiful opportunity for our young leaders to practice gratitude, and share positivity beyond the walls of the Community Center.

Moments like these show what MyVoice is all about, building connection, empathy, and leadership through action. We’re so proud of this crew for leading with heart and making someone else’s day a little brighter 💙
