Parent Volunteers Needed!  How you can become involved!

The Joseph N. Hermann Youth Center, Inc. is looking for some new members for our Board of Directors.  Our organization is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and our primary mission is to support the youth of North Andover.  We currently have a great team in place but we are always looking for new members who have the desire to become more involved and who can bring fresh ideas to our group.  The time commitment is minimal but the satisfaction you receive can be great.

One of the amazing things I’ve learned by being on the Board is that nearly everyone who I’ve asked for help is willing to get involved or help out in some way.  In many of these instances, they have wanted to get involved and they are thrilled that someone has approached them.  Well, now I am asking you.  You may have wanted to get more involved and you think you have something to offer.  However, you have never taken that final step to sign up.  We need your help to keep our Board vibrant and dynamic.

We can always use input from people with backgrounds in Fundraising, Marketing, Public Relations, Education, Accounting and Information Technology.  However, any adult with the desire to get involved probably has the fresh ideas and input that we need to continue the success of our organization.  I would be happy to speak with anyone who has an interest in our Board and Youth Center. 

If you think you have some ideas to share, please send an e-mail to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .  We can then schedule a time to talk to see if this is something that is of interest to you.
