YMCA Welcoming Week

The YMCA of Greater Indianapolis will be joining Welcoming America, other organizations and YMCAs across the country to celebrate Welcoming Week, September 13-22. Each year, Welcoming Week elevates the growing movement of communities that fully embrace new Americans and their contributions to the social fabric of our country.

This week-long celebration is an opportunity for neighbors – both immigrants and US-born residents – to get to know one another and celebrate what unites us as a community.

“We truly believe that belonging begins with us and that Indianapolis is stronger when everyone feels welcome and collaborates for the common good,” said Jessica Moore, Senior Vice President of Equity Advancement. “We are proud to participate in Welcoming Week, showcasing how people from all backgrounds come together in communities both large and small to build stronger connections. This is a time to celebrate the shared values that unite us as neighbors, parents and colleagues, making our community more welcoming to all.”
