Celebrating Pride
Together, with PRIDE. At the Y, we honor and champion progress for the LGBTQIAA+ movement.
Together With Pride
June is Pride Month. At the Y, we are committed to promoting equity and justice for all. This commitment also includes fostering a sense of belonging, and we proudly stand with our LGBTQIAA+ community members. A healthy, vibrant Y is an inclusive Y.
We celebrate with our LBGTQIAA+ community during Pride Month and every day. We are committed to being an inclusive and welcoming place all year-round! Join us in building a community that embraces and uplifts the voices and experiences of our LGBTQIAA+ community members. And explore upcoming community events, resources, and more.
