Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day to honor the resilience, strength, and enduring contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history.

Juneteenth is both a celebration of freedom and an opportunity for reflection. It reminds us that creating communities where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive is work that continues today.

At the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles, we are the Center for Community Well-Being—a place where people of all backgrounds can find connection, belonging, and opportunities to grow. Every day, we strive to create welcoming spaces where individuals and families feel seen, respected, and supported in becoming the best version of themselves.

To our Black colleagues, members, volunteers, donors, and community partners: thank you. Thank you for your leadership, your service, your perspective, and the many ways you strengthen our Ys and the communities we serve.

Last week at the Ketchum-Downtown YMCA we hosted our Association’s Employee Resource Group LGBTQ+ Pride Celebration Event, coming together to celebrate and enjoy good food, music, and of course take some cute pictures.

We continued our celebration participating in the LA Pride Parade that Sunday, joining our communities in Los Angeles celebrating pride and inclusion.

Here at the Y, EVERYONE is welcome and celebrated. 🌈

Sara and Nishka from the Burbank Community YMCA share what they’re excited to do at the YMCA this summer with their Free Get Summer Teen Membership!

Sara:
“I go to Burbank High School, and one thing I love about the Y is how close it is to our school, and how easily we can walk over here. Me and [my friend] Nishka will go join one of the cardio dances which was really fun. It was good music and fun dancing.”

Nishka
“I just love the endless opportunities like to have fun and participate in so many programs, so much stuff to do here like you almost never get bored. You go to the gym or you go to swim. You could do it with your friends and it's just like so much fun stuff to do here. Just the connections you build here with other teens and with the adults that are so trusting. It's a really safe environment, and it's also a really fun community.”

Give your teen a place to belong at the Y this summer!

Kaylyn from the North Valley Family YMCA shares her Y story, about her summer at the Y last year, and what she’s looking forward to doing at the Y this summer!

“My experience at Get Summer last year was amazing! The Y has so many recourses to learn new things, meet new people, or just hang out with friends! Last year, I did coding, 3D printing, went swimming, played games, made new friends, and had such a fun time! I also got the chance to go to Sleepaway Camp over the summer and it was super exciting and it was way more than I ever imagined it could be. I got to do so many new things, like climbing ropes and hiking and just being out in the wilderness.”

“[This summer] I'm looking forward to reuniting with friends, make new ones, and create new memories!”

Thank you, Kaylyn. We warmly welcome you and your friends back to the Y this summer, and hope you continue to make more lifelong memories here! ☀️
