Port Youth and Recreation Foundation are working hard to raise funds to help buy the materials and supplies needed to start programming right when we open! Please learn more. Any amount helps!

Every room has a purpose—and every room needs supplies before opening day. Donate Now to furnish the building with supplies before the doors open. https://www.portrec.org/

All Hands on Deck!

For years we've dreamed and the dream is almost here. Every family can help as we fill the new building the supplies that make the magic happen.
Every gift matters. https://www.portrec.org/

Thank you Port Youth and Recreation Foundation! We are excited to fill the building!

For years we've dreamed about a permanent home for Newburyport Rec and Youth Services (tag us) where children, teens, families, and neighbors could gather to learn, create, play, and belong. That dream is almost here.

But before opening day, every room needs to be filled with the supplies that make the magic happen.

🎨 Art supplies
🏀Sports equipment
🤖 Robotics kits
🎲 Games
🍳Cooking equipment
🎭 Creative materials

Every family can help.
Every gift matters.
Join us as we prepare our new Recreation & Youth Center for opening day.
All Hands on Deck.

Did you know?

The Yankee Homecoming Parade has a Sensory Friendly Zone!

Between Toppans Lane and Summit Terrace will be a no-siren, no-musket quiet zone, added new this year!

Thank you to the Yankee Homecoming organizers and the Newburyport City Council for this useful addition to the parade route 🌞
