Frames, Photos, and Backgrounds: Show Your Y Spirit on Social Media

We wanted to take a moment to say: from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of our Y Family. With members, donors, employees, and a community like you, we can accomplish so much together. A few weeks ago, we created a toolkit for employees to show their pride in the YMCA on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and video calls too. Today, we're making the same kit available to you.

Are you proud of your YMCA and how we are helping the community? Here's how to share your spirit on social:
