From September 13-22, the YMCA of South Hampton Roads and YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas are proud to participate in Welcoming Week, an annual event celebrating communities that fully embrace new Americans. As part of this nationwide initiative led by Y-USA's national partner, Welcoming America, we’re opening our doors to everyone in the community to promote cross-cultural understanding and celebrate the contributions of immigrants to the social fabric of our nation.
At the YMCA, we believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel they belong. This week-long celebration is a chance to experience that spirit firsthand, with free access to any participating YMCA location. From group exercise classes to swimming, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities designed to strengthen both the body and our community.
