Belonging Begins With Us
Welcoming Week | September 10-19
The YMCA of Northwest North Carolina believes our communities are stronger when everyone feels welcome and we work together for the common good.
The Y is committed to helping all individuals, including newcomers, access the support and resources needed to reach their full potential. Our mission is “Helping all people reach their God-given potential in spirit, mind, and body.” We believe that communities are at their strongest when everyone has an opportunity to contribute and work together on a shared vision for the future.
Join us as we celebrate community, connection, and belonging during Welcoming Week! This national initiative brings together people of all backgrounds to show that everyone belongs at the Y.
Welcoming Week Events
During Welcoming Week, the Y will participate in a community event and host several free events that are open to the public.
More to come as we get closer!
We are also hosting our Annual Dirty Dozen 5K Obstacle Mud Run and Fun Run Saturday, September 12 at the Jerry Long Family YMCA. All proceeds go to Y innovative health programs benefiting cancer survivors and other chronic disease programs.
