In celebration of the 𝟓𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐌𝐂𝐀 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐲𝐭𝐞, a 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 was held on September 26, 2026, at the Brgy. 74 Lower Nula-Tula Gym, with the support and assistance of the YMCA of Leyte – Youth Circle.

"𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒎. 𝑺𝒆𝒊𝒛𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝒃𝒐𝒚𝒔. 𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒚." — Dead Poets Society (1989)

This World Mental Health Day, let’s remember that living meaningfully also means giving ourselves time to breathe, rest, and heal. May we learn to be kinder to ourselves and to others, recognizing that everyone has their own battles and pace in life. We don’t have to have everything figured out to make each day count. Sometimes, simply choosing to keep going, reaching out, or allowing ourselves to pause is already enough.

Take care of your mind, cherish the little things, and remember that your life matters, too. 💚

In celebration of the 𝟓𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐌𝐂𝐀 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐲𝐭𝐞, a meaningful 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧-𝐔𝐩 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 was held on September 19, 2026, at the YMCA of Leyte, with the support and assistance of its very own, Youth Circle.

The activity brought Y CREV✓ together in promoting cleanliness, responsibility, and care for the environment. Through teamwork and shared effort, everyone took part in maintaining a cleaner and more welcoming space within the YMCA.

More than just cleaning, the activity served as a reminder that small acts of service can create a meaningful impact when done together. With cooperation, energy, and a spirit of volunteerism, Y CREV✓ showed that caring for the community starts with taking action.

A day of service, teamwork, and shared responsibility—another meaningful activity for the YMCA of Leyte and its Youth Circle! 💙✨

𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗦 | 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞 & 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 🤩

The YMCA of Leyte – Youth Circle gathered on September 12, 2026, for 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞 & 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, bringing Y-CREV✓ together for a day of learning, sharing, fellowship, and fun.

The morning opened with Know Your YMCA, featuring 𝐌𝐫. 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐂. 𝐀𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐬, who walked Y-CREV✓ through the history and work of the YMCA of Leyte. The discussion continued with the YMCA Vision 2030, where Y-CREV✓ explored its four pillars: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭, and 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. The session gave everyone a chance to exchange ideas and look at how these pillars can be reflected in the work and activities of the Youth Circle.

After the morning discussions, Y-CREV✓ shared a meal and enjoyed some time together before heading into the afternoon activities. The 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤. 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞. workshop opened the floor for everyone to share their thoughts, insights, and ideas, turning conversations into possible initiatives that can be carried forward by the Youth Circle.

The afternoon also gave everyone a chance to step away from the discussions and simply have fun through a series of games. With all the laughter, cheering, and friendly competition, the activities brought a lighter and more personal side to the day. And just like that, Vibe & Thrive 2026 came to a close—with new things learned, ideas shared, and memories made along the way. 🎉💙
