***River Runners- Youth Fellow - Old Town, Maine
 
 
 
At the Old Town - Orono YMCA - we're a community hub for all ages, promoting healthy living, nurturing potential, and fostering social responsibility. In partnership with the RSU #34 school district, our River Runners program is a beacon for youth development. We provide dedicated in-school support to enhance students' educational experiences and offer outdoor experiential education that takes learning beyond the classroom. Our program connects youth with nature, creating meaningful community connections and expanding worldviews through adventure and exploration. Nestled in the Penobscot/Piscataquis Region, our area is renowned for its beautiful waterways. We've been paddling Maine's waters for over 25 years, from the Androscoggin River to local lakes, extensively exploring the western Maine watershed from Norway to Rangeley. In 2023, we acquired land on the Androscoggin River in Bethel, ME, aiming to share our passion for water adventures with travelers of all levels. Join us in making a difference through the power of community and the great outdoors. Be a part of River Runners and help shape the future of our youth!
