Celebrate the Values That Unite Us During National Welcoming Week,
September 14-23

During Welcoming Week, we celebrate the diversity and cultures that make Lincoln great! The YMCA is for everyone—people of all ages and from every walk of life. Together, we work side-by-side to strengthen communities. With a focus on social responsibility and our doors open to all, the Y celebrates diversity and fosters social cohesion by building bridges between new Americans and their neighbors. The Y’s commitment to engage underserved populations, to take on the most urgent needs in our city and to inspire a spirit of service in return emphasizes that the Y is so much more than a gym—it’s a cause rooted deep in community. Through our Open Doors Financial Assistance Program, we strive to make sure that financial limitations are not a barrier to having a Y membership or participating in Y programs.
