orsThey are dynamic community leaders, seasoned professionals,and rising young executives. Some have served on the board overmany years, while others are new friends. A few hold a deep personal connection to our programs, but many came to know theagency through a business associate. They represent a multitudeof vocations and occupations, and hail from cities and townsacross the area.
They are a diverse group, yet they share a simple and singular mission: to give children and families at risk a chance to heal, and a reason to hope.

As we so often say, our Board of Directors not only make the difference, they are the difference. In fact, the
future of our organization depends on the time, talent, and treasure given by these very special people.
When you see them, be sure to thank them for their outstanding stewardship of Y.O.U., Inc.
Y.O.U., Inc. has faced multiple challenges during this past year, and yet through
the combined efforts of our professional staff, our volunteer board, and our many
supporters throughout the community, we achieved many significant benchmarks.
A few of our successes are as follows:
• Y.O.U., Inc. suffered two electrical fires during our unusually harsh
winter last year. The staff at our group home for boys in Oxford and our
transitional apartments for homeless teen mothers did an incredible job
planning and implementing an effective and supportive interim plan
for our clients. Like all our employees, they went well above and
beyond the call of duty to ensure a successful transition. Thankfully,
the Oxford boys have already returned to their newly renovated home,
and the teen moms will be “home” soon to their new apartments.
Once again, the Y.O.U., Inc. community has been successful at building abrighter future for the more than 20,000 young people and their families whoreceived services from our agency during this past year. Congratulations!
A message to our friends
2 Y . O . U . , I N C
• Our Family Centers in Gardner, Southbridge and Worcester, and
our community-based programs expanded the level of In-Home
Therapy, Therapeutic Mentoring, and Behavioral Management
Care for youth and their families by 26%.
• Cottage Hill Academy continues to serve a small group of
seriously troubled young women with long term residential school
services. This year the facility has expanded to provide a range
of community-based acute treatment for girls and boys, both
adolescent and latency ages. As a result, our census has increased
by 47% from last fiscal year.
• While our Dynamy and Upward Bound college access programs
have seen an increase in enrollment, our day schools have
experienced a continued decrease in referrals, as school districts
develop their own special education services. Therefore,
Y.O.U., Inc. has consolidated its day school programs into one –
The Y.O.U., Inc. Educational Day Academy located at our
McGrath facility. Based on the needs of our students, we have
focused our educational rubrics to build the skills needed for our
students to transition successfully to employment.
• Our capital campaign, “Building Brighter Futures for 40 Years”
is nearing our goal of $1.2 million. Our many donors have
already contributed more than $800,000 allowing us to launch
our newly developed Electronic Health Record system and its
centralized referral process. We expect these changes to improve
the access and quality of care while reducing associated costs.
• Our Kenya initiative was successful in helping our friends at the
Child Welfare Society of Kenya to secure $1.2 million in funding
for a range of child welfare services including adoption and foster
care. This is an historic commitment by the Government of Kenya
to secure a future filled with hope for thousands of homeless
street children and their families.
As always, our success depends on our dynamic volunteer and
professional team, which is supported by our very generous
individual, corporate, and foundation donors. Together we continue
to build brighter futures for our most vulnerable youth and their
families. Thank you.
Respectfully,

April Aulick speaks eloquently of her experiences as a teenagerin one of Y.O.U., Inc.’s Residential programs, and her story is apowerful reminder of the resiliency of youth. Now with fourgrown sons and her own successful business, April is a true testament to the mission of our agency.
As one of our longest-serving board members, retired attorneyGeorge Bernardin has participated in virtually every aspect ofthe growth of our agency from one program in a single location,to 50 programs at 32 sites. George’s leadership skills and profound commitment to our mission are an enduring legacy to the agency.

Georgia has been instrumental in

our programs have remained strong and
viable in today’s challenging economy.
Georgia values and encourages the free
exchange of ideas between board and

Mike values opportunities to become

central mission of the agency. The work
of the Quality Assurance committee in
particular, provides Mike with a

Board Treasurer Tom Jenkins can relate,
and his own personal experiences have
had a profound impact on his
service to Y.O.U., Inc.
In the midst of his now 37-year
career at Saint-Gobain Abrasives,
and with their two older
children off to work and
college, Tom and his wife
Lisa decided to fill their
almost-empty nest with
foster children. Many of
the birth parents of the infants and toddlers
they cared for were receiving services
at Y.O.U., Inc., so when a colleague
suggested he join our board, Tom readily
agreed. Already an active youth baseball,
basketball, and softball coach, Tom was
deeply committed to improving the lives
of children.
Yet despite their busy schedules, when the
call came for four sisters, aged 13 to 17, in
need of an emergency foster placement for
the weekend, Tom and Lisa didn’t hesitate.
Fostering hope with quiet grace
and unparalleled strength
For many of our clients, life has taken more than one heartbreaking turn.
In his 20-plus years in public service, Tim McMahonhas seen first-hand the difficulties faced by both stateand private agencies working to offer comprehensiveand innovative programming with greatly reducedfunding. His professional insights on the best ways toaccomplish that goal will be a significant asset to ourQuality Assurance Committee.
Arts and Culture director Dolly Vazquez has enjoyed along and productive working relationship with ouragency, and understands first-hand the importance ofoffering targeted, culturally-competent services to children and families in need. Her leadership in theLatino community of Worcester is an outstandingresource for the Y.O.U., Inc. Board.
Representing the academic community on the Y.O.U., Inc. board is Assumption College’s Paul Belsito,whose experience in politics and the state legislature is
a perfect fit for our Government and CommunityRelations Committee. Paul’s proven
abilities to advocate for constituents andcommunity members in need are a trueasset to the agency.
As one weekend turned to one month,
and then one year, the Jenkins’ bond with
the girls deepened – along with their
resolve to keep the sisters together. Tom
and Lisa took legal guardianship of the
girls in 2008, but life was about to take a
very painful turn: in February of 2009,
Lisa Jenkins died after a short illness. With
quiet grace and strength, Tom did exactly
as Lisa wished – he continued with the
task of raising his four teenaged daughters.
With his thoughtful perspective on the
vital importance of services for children
recovering from trauma, Tom is an
extraordinary advocate for those children –
and our agency.

make a meaningful and positive contribution to children
and families living within our communities.”
– Mark C. Crandall, Regional President, MA/RI, TD Bank
For an agency of our size, technology plays a critical role in everything from client scheduling and electronic healthrecords, to accurate and timely insurance billing. InformationTechnology executive Gerard Morales brings that industry perspective, along with fresh approaches to fundraising anddevelopment, to our Finance and Young Professionals Advisory Committees.
Providing seasoned guidance and advice to future leaders of our board is a role perfectly suited to retired marketing executive Larry Morrison. In his 16 years on the board,including a term as Board Chair, Larry has served on virtuallyevery committee – and his contributions to the agency are significant and far reaching.
Former information technology and insurance executive Gary MacConnell was instrumental in the recruitment andhiring of Y.O.U., Inc.’s very first MIS Director. Over manyyears, Gary has lent his considerable expertise to numerousfacets of the agency’s operations, serving as Board Chair and working tirelessly on many fundraising projectsand capital campaigns.

Our facilities are well-located and accessible toour clients; however, although these buildingsare attractive and welcoming, many are inneed of betterments, upgrades, and someexpansion of space or parking in order to continue the high level of quality carerequired by our clients.
Just as importantly, as a behavioral health organization, Y.O.U., Inc. is under Federalmandate to develop an Electronic HealthRecord system. Implementation of anadvanced system will ensure compliance withall of the requirements of insurance payors,improve the integration of medical and behavioral health care, and reduce billing costsby up to $250,000 annually.
Thanks to all those who have supported this campaign, we are more than half way to our $1.2M goal!
As a result of a year-long analysis of our facility and technology needs, the Board ofDirectors of Y.O.U., Inc. voted to initiate a capital campaign entitled “Building BrighterFutures for 40 Years.” Our goal for this fundraising endeavor is $1.2 million with themonies raised going directly to these two major initiatives.
