LGBTQ+ Championing YMCA

In October 2017, our Y became one of 10 around the country to achieve the distinction of being a Championing YMCA. This is the highest honor a Y can achieve on the LGBTQ+ Inclusion Scale, and it is not easy to attain.  

"You are part of a small but prestigious group of YMCAs leading this country with your inclusion work," says James Spearin, chair of the YMCA's LGBTQ+ Resource Network. "You are lifting up very important conversations, valuing differences and life-long learning, and your Y's work is a significant reason your community continues to make dramatic progress toward the full inclusion of all people."
