25 years later, we remember September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the lives lost, honor the first responders and service members who answered the call, and recognize the families, friends, and communities forever changed by 9/11 and the years that followed.

Together, we will 🫶

At the Y, we believe a welcoming community takes all of us - creating spaces where every neighbor feels like they belong, unlikely connections are made, and each of us has the opportunity to thrive.

Join us September 10-19 as we celebrate Welcoming Week, because there’s no place like the Y for welcoming neighbors! 🫶
