    My name is Chris Harrington and I’ve been employed by the YMCA of the Northshore for over 25 years in a variety of roles and responsibilities along with my career in the Telecommunications Industry. I have enjoyed raising my 4 teenagers on the Northshore with my wife Claudia and we have been very active in the Y Community.

  • Oscar Mendoza

    Hi! I’m Oscar Melodina, and I proudly serve as Teen Program Staff at the Greater Beverly YMCA’s McPherson Youth Center.

    By day, I’m a full-time student at Salem State University, currently in my sophomore year, where I’m majoring in Criminal Justice. My studies fuel my passion for equity, advocacy, and helping others find positive pathways—especially youth.

    Working at the McPherson Youth Center is more than just a job for me—it’s where I get to be part of something bigger. I have the unique opportunity to connect with local teens and help them discover their voice, their power, and their ability to become true Change Makers in their communities.

    Every day, I get to build relationships, create impactful experiences, and witness firsthand the growth and transformation of the next generation. That’s what makes this work so meaningful.
