MetLife Financial Group of Massachusetts has been selected as one of  2010 Best Places to Work by the Boston Business Journal!

MetLife Financial Group of Massachsuetts has had the great opportunity to present a $50,000 MLF grant to two YMCA locations in East Boston!

A grant was made through the 2009 MetLife Foundation (MLF) Out-of-School Time Initiative, which supported innovative after-school programs for middle school youth. Grants totalling $300,000 were awarded to seven youth-serving organizations in Boston, Chicago, Dallas and New York City.

The YMCA of Greater Boston, founded in 1851, was the country's first YMCA. Today, the Y provides diverse programs and services for more than 100,000 youth and adults annually. The organization serves more youth than any other nonprofit in Boston, providing an array of recreation, leadership development, skill building and healthy lifestyle programs. It also is the largest provider of after-school programs and child care in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, offers the state's largest summer youth employment program and leverages resources to provide over $10.3 million in critical services at no cost to low-income participants.

A partnership with Northeastern University, the program focuses on engaging youth in physical activity each day, providing a healthy snack and good nutrition, limiting screen time both at the Y and at home and helping families adopt healthy lifestyles.

 MetLife Financial Group of Massachusetts has had the great opportunity to present this check to two YMCA locations in East Boston.  We were happy to send one of our local Representatives George Apraku to deliver the checks. Below are two photo's from the day:
