Meet the Latest “R.A.Y.”
Maxim Grin received the R.A.Y. of Hope Award for his work with SALSA to encourage middle school students to make healthy decisions and to stay substance free.
Every once in a while, Needham Youth and Family Services has a chance to celebrate someone who is “doing it right”. The town has a lot of great young adults, who serve as positive role models and are an inspirations to their peers, younger students, and also a lot of adults out there. When such a person is brought to their attention, they want to call attention to it by Recognizing A Youth (R.A.Y). They recently had a chance to bestow the R.A.Y. of Hope Award to Maxim Grin. Learn more about him and his accomplishments in this video segment from the Needham Channel News.
