Read or listen to authors Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi as they connect you to the history of racism from 1415 to today. You’ll walk away more educated so that you can powerfully practice antiracism in your daily life.
NSHS FORJ will host a book discussion on Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi with middle and high school students, parents and teachers. Knowledge is power, and knowledge of racism and how it works will benefit everyone living in this country. This highly engaging book has been praised as essential reading by many authors and media sources, so we hope you’ll be excited to join too!

Registration is still open for Winter Programs
2020 was a challenging year that required families to break from their typical routines and adapt to new ways of doing things. Since July of 2020, the Y has been adapting as well.

The Y’s 6-week Winter Program Session will run from January 4th-February 14th and there is still time to register for these programs.
