Harmony Week – Everyone belongs at the Y

Harmony Week – Everyone belongs at the Y

As we commence Harmony Week (March 18-24th) with the theme Everyone belongs, it’s a time for reflection and celebration of diversity and inclusion. At the Y Inclusion Services, we wholeheartedly believe that everyone deserves a place where they belong, regardless of their background, abilities, or circumstances.

Harmony Week aligns closely with our global mission:
