The Chelmsford Open Space Stewardship is an independent group of volunteers working with the Chelmsford Conservation Commission. It was established in November 2005 by residents who enjoy hiking, being productive and doing things outdoors. While the Conservation Commission manages and protects open space property in the town of Chelmsford, the Stewards maintain and improve the trail systems within these open spaces – anything from picking up trash and keeping the trails free of fallen trees to replacing worn out bridges and kiosks. Stewards provide a daily presence and ongoing maintenance so these special properties can be enjoyed by all.

Chelmsford Youth Wrestling is an all-volunteer organization. We are much smaller than most of the other sporting programs in town but we are probably the most active. To keep the program healthy and financially stable, we organize several fund raising events each season. The largest of these is our annual Chelmsford Youth Wrestling Tournament that we run at the High School Gym. This has historically been our largest and most successful event. We typically host approximately 500 to 600 youth wrestlers from all over New England for this one-day event! As you might imagine, the logistics involved in managing the flow of that many wrestlers and their families through the Chelmsford High Gym in one day is a daunting task. There is no way we could run this tournament without the enthusiastic support we get from our participant families. We encourage all our wrestling families to help out however they can in this vital fund raising event. We also welcome your active participation in all other aspects of the CYW organization. There are many opportunities to help out and get involved during the course of the season. We appreciate your input and look forward to your involvement in making this a better program for all the kids!

The Paul Center is dedicated to assisting individuals with disabilities in developing their maximum potential and independence. We accomplish this goal by providing services to the individual as well as to the family. The Board of Directors and staff of The Paul Center believe that through consistent quality programming we can and do provide an optimal educational and recreational experience needed by our students.We stress with our staff the importance of establishing and maintaining a "spirit of extended family" with our students. This spirit transcends all aspects of our programs and continues to be a significant factor in our success with our students.

We are a Community Theater Troupe based in Boston's MetroWest. The Present Players is dedicated to providing quality theater to our community, and we always donate 100% of our proceeds to local causes. We are able to produce 1-2 shows a year, and we donate 100% of our shows' proceeds to community programs. If you are located in Boston's Metro West and have a need for fundraising, consider community theater. If you have an interest in any aspect of Community Theater, we'd love to have you join us. A good production needs Costumes, Lighting, Sets, and Props not to mention Publicity and help with Tickets. We understand that everyone involved in the company makes the show successful, not just the actors. Come see how rewarding it is be involved with live theater.

At Kids In Disability Sports, Inc. (K.I.D.S.), our mission is simple.
We believe that children with special needs deserve the same opportunities for recreation, sports and skill-building as everyone else.
At the heart of all K.I.D.S. programs are our families and staff of caring volunteers who coach the teams and assist at our dances and outings.
Our sports build self-confidence and show the value of teamwork. Our social events reinforce self-esteem and cooperation.
Our programs include a mix of typical children and kids with disabilities.

The mission of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lowell is "to inspire and enable young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens through dedicated staff and innovative programs, provided in a safe environment."

The Nashoba Players is a dynamic, non-profit community theatre that has been dedicated to providing cultural enrichment through live theatre in drama, musicals and comedy to Westford and surrounding communities. We began 30 years ago as Groton Theatre and Littleton Theatre Guild and evolved into Nashoba Players. We are a member of the Eastern Mass. Assoc. of Community Theatres and are recipients of repeated recognitions at the EMACT Festivals for outstanding achievements in our productions. Our commitment to providing entertainment to the community has reached beyond traditional theatre. We have offered Summer Theatre Workshops to the youth in the community culminating in a musical show performed by the teens. Our home stage is at the Parish Center for the Arts on the common in Westford. It is an intimate and inviting venue where we offer cabaret seating for our shows. Our season offers three or more performances which include drama, comedy, musicals, and sometimes a whimsical tongue-in-cheek melodrama or an elegant dinner theatre experience.
