Welcoming Week 2026 The “Where Every Neighbor Belongs” Place

Welcoming Week is a national celebration, led by Welcoming America, that brings neighbors together to build connections and celebrate what makes our communities stronger. It highlights the power of belonging and creates opportunities for people from all backgrounds to connect.

For 175 years in the U.S., the Y has been a place where people come to find connection and belonging. Welcoming Week is an annual initiative that strengthens this legacy by creating intentional opportunities for neighbors to meet, share experiences and build relationships while getting to know one another and celebrating what unites us.

The YMCA of Greenville will do this through simple and fun activities around the Life Center YMCA designed to spark conversations. Stop by our world map to mark your country of origin or heritage.

Share on social media what makes our Life Center YMCA community special and be sure to tag us and include .

Welcoming Week happens September 10 – 19, 2026. We hope to see you.
