Celebrate the Power of Inclusion

We believe our communities are stronger when everyone feels welcome and we work together for the common good. Welcoming Week celebrates the growing movement of communities that fully embrace new Americans and their contributions to the social fabric of our country. As part of our free Welcoming Week celebrations and activities, the Y is hosting a challenge for kids, teens, and families with a focus on celebrating cultures and people in America.
