YMCA of the USA

Legend indeed. On the court, off the court, and in our hearts. Thank you, Magic.

To mark our 175th, we pulled some old styles out of storage and went full nostalgia mode. It's a fun look back at how far we've come, and everything's only available through the end of the year. Want to look good and support our mission at the same time? Check out the full catalog and shop here: https://bit.ly/4fi2wi3 #Y175

Like they say, if you want to go far, go together. And that's what we're doing with AstraZeneca. Together we're expanding access to cancer education and earlier detection around the country.

Gen Z is feeling increasingly disengaged from their schoolwork. Y-USA's Curtis Lemieux explains how we're addressing this and why creating opportunities for kids to make real-world connections is just as important as good grades. https://bit.ly/3TEvGzw

Happy International Lifeguard Appreciation Day! 💙 Whether they're teaching water safety, building relationships with families, or stepping in when every second counts, lifeguards help create safer, stronger communities every day. Meet some of the dedicated lifeguards whose impact extends far beyond the pool deck and learn why this work is so much more than a summer job.

Campfire Across America brought together more than 1,200 Ys across all 50 states. From coast to coast, Y's around the country connected with those in their community over the campfire. Thank you to everyone who joined us. Missed it? The spirit of the campfire is sticking around this week. Join our Virtual Campfire with YMCA 360 - https://bit.ly/2wZLK54 #Y175 #CampfireAcrossAmerica

At its core, the YMCA World Council is a gift exchange. A place we give and receive each others' ideas and solutions. It's where we can offer help and get support. It's offering one point of view and accepting someone else'. It's the chance to tell stories and share experiences. In the end everyone takes home so much more than they came with and we put it all to work to make the world better for everybody. #YForAll #YMCATransform2026

Today's the day! Join us as we celebrate Campfire Across America in a shared moment of connection, reflection, and belonging.

Greetings from YMCA World Council! 🌎 This week, we're joining more than a thousand YMCA colleagues from around the world for a week of sharing ideas, learning from one another, and exploring new ways to help individuals and communities thrive. The best part? The ideas we share here will continue making a difference long after the week is over. #YforAll  #YMCATransform2026

Did you catch us on the TODAY Show this morning? We sponsored a segment featuring overnight campers from Frost Valley YMCA and day campers from YMCA of Greater New York, showcasing the friendships, belonging, and sense of community that camp creates. On Wednesday, Campfire Across America continues that tradition, reminding us that some of the best connections are made around a campfire, one story, song, and conversation at a time. Find a local YMCA hosting an in-person or symbolic campfire, join a livestreamed campfire, and get important safety information at ymca.org/campfire. Tune in, get inspired, and be part of the experience. 🔥 #Y175 #CampfireAcrossAmerica
