BELONGING BEGINS WITH US!
Be our guest at Y locations during Welcoming Week, Sept. 11-15 to celebrate what unites us.
We know communities are stronger and more cohesive when people from all backgrounds have the opportunity to get to know one another and work side by side to advance the common good. Welcoming Week is a national celebration that brings together newcomer immigrants and U.S.-born residents at community-based events to promote cross-cultural understanding and raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone!
