This month, we joined friends all around the world to celebrate International Youth Day on August 12th, with the theme: "Different Contexts, Common Aspirations."

What a great reason to celebrate creativity, curiosity, courage and potential of young people everywhere.

At the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington, we believe every young person deserves opportunities to learn, lead, discover their passions and build a brighter future.

From the classroom to the pool, the playing field to the community, we’re proud to create spaces where young people can belong, grow and thrive.

Here’s to the next generation of changemakers!

Today, the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington joins our community in recognizing Juneteenth, commemorating June 19, 1865, when news of freedom reached the last enslaved people in the United States.

We take time to recognize this important moment in our nation's history and celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Black Americans that continue to strengthen our communities and enrich our shared experience.

At the Y, we remain committed to creating welcoming spaces where everyone can learn, grow, and belong.

Wishing our community a meaningful Juneteenth. ❤️💛🖤
