Oh the weather outside is frightful.....

Winter is here indeed.  After a short break for the holidays, our winter programs will be back up and running.

GO!, our Guys Only group gets a bit smaller as our activities move inside.  Friday nights find us hanging our at the YSB shooting pool, playing ping pong, or improvising crazy games of dodge ball in the community room!

WOW- Women on the Way is a group of high school age girls, and meets at the YSB most Thursday evenings.  Great snacks and unique activities bring girls back year after year:-)

As always, our counseling services are available for youth and families in Granby free of charge.  This tends to be a busy time of year as most families experience increased stresses post holiday, but as of today, we are still able to serve new clients within a week to two of the referral.

Our Kids Play You Stay group for infants and toddlers meets on Wednesday mornings at the Barn at Holcomb Farm.

Our winter session of Love and Logic, a highly praised workshop that helps parents have more fun while raising responsible children wrapped up the first week of January.  The Spring session will start registration in February.
