Last Thursday we were joined by Coach Greg Chesley and the Lawrence High School Girls Basketball team! The girls brought the energy (and the pizza) for an amazing night of laughs and inclusion. These ladies are not only impressive on the court, but off the court as well. Thank you all for spending the evening with us, and best of luck in the rest of your season!

🌟Staff Spotlight: Joshua Guptel 🌟

Joshua recently joined our team as the Unified Champions Club Coordinator, and we’re excited to officially introduce him! Joshua also serves as the pitching coach for the Thomas College Baseball Team, and brings years of experience with Boys & Girls Club organizations across New England.

He’s coached just about every sport you can imagine (thanks to his three kids), making him a perfect fit for our programs. Bonus: he comes with a great sense of humor, which we’re already appreciating!

If you see Joshua around the building, be sure to say hello and help us give him a warm AYCC welcome!
