First stop: Ocean Community @YMCA in Westerly. Whether it's after school programming for kids or swim classes for adults, the Y provides a space for members of the community to use and enjoy. Great to visit their facilities and see the services they provide to RIers.

When it comes to strengthening and serving families, @OldColonyYMCA is a leader In MA and within the YMCA Network. Wonderful time today exploring their work around safe, stable housing, and talking innovation and strategy with 10 @MAYMCAS. #BeCauseY #Yadvocate

☀️ It’s a good morning at the @attleboroymca! Great to see how the Y is providing SRO housing for community members - alongside their active fitness and child care operations. The building was bustling! #BeCauseY #Advocate

The @YMCA_Boston really does it all: health & wellness, teen empowerment, anti-hunger and much more. But I’m beyond inspired by their HOUSING operations - providing comfortable, safe, and stable housing to #Boston residents. Just remarkable. #BeCauseY #Yadvocate

Amazing day at the @NorthShoreY with the @MAYMCAS, seeing how the Y provides modern, comfortable, stable housing to so many residents in Beverly and throughout the North Shore. #BeCauseY #Yadvocate

So grateful to Cleo Loubser for her volunteer Board service to the Capetown YMCA @YMCA_SA. She’s in DC for the summer as part of the Mandela Fellows Program and shared some time with the @YMCAAdvocacy office. Come back and visit soon when others can join in the conversations!

It's Hill Day for CEF Members! We can't wait to connect with leaders on Capitol Hill to discuss the importance of federal education funding. #CEFHillDay

This week, I enjoyed the opportunity to welcome attendees of the YMCA Youth Governors Conference to Washington, D.C. I was proud to see representatives from Kentucky participating in this important conference and look forward to watching them grow into our future leaders.

Thank you @SenatorCollins for championing the YMCA & our @ymcayag civic engagement programs! @iamsmccormick & our Youth Governors, Nate and Gabby, loved meeting with you today. #Yadvocate #BeCauseY 📚

The #YouthGovernors are on the mall. We couldn’t have done this without the amazing support of our sponsor @mission_square.

This week Is Healthy and Safe Swimming Week. Our partner @ymca collaborates w/ @CDCgov on developing youth drowning prevention strategies & the U.S. National Water Safety Action Plan. Read about their work: https://t.co/WDdfN6c9h5 #CDCInjury30th #WaterSafety

“True freedom is not possible unless people know they are safe,” @VP We must act now to end gun violence. #GunViolenceAwareness #WearOrange

CDC is working with partners like @ymca and @RedCross to evaluate programs that teach basic swimming and water safety skills to children from communities at increased risk of drowning. Learn more: https://t.co/x2BID1u1hG

I signed my 3-year-old son up for Bitty Basketball through @KansasCityYMCA at the Linwood Y. What I found at that gym is so much more. (thread)

Inspiring day with Carmen Colon & team learning about how the @CCCYMCA is housing & serving community throughout Bridgeport. Simply phenomenal work. #BeCauseY #YforAll #Yadvocate 🏘️

Great to spend the day with emerging leaders at the inaugural RI @ymcayag event! Loved hearing from @JimLangevin & touring the RI State House. Hats off to @nysymcas for a job well done. #Yadvocate 🙌

Energized and inspiring group of advocates for kids! Great to share time with @rosenbergtom @HSDeHart and @ACAcamps leaders! Proud that @YMCAadvocacy friend @MarkDibble is here to lift #ymca #yadvocate voice! #ProtectOurChildren

Grateful to the leaders of the #ymca @MAYMCAS this April for lifting up support of #ChildAbusePreventionMonth #CAP2023. Adults need to take responsibility to #KeepKidsSafe. Thx @YMCAofCM @OldColonyYMCA @NorthShoreY @HockomockYMCA @YMCA_Boston https://t.co/c1LKsXdAi7

Toxic polarization can't be the new normal. In our communities, leaders are promoting dialogue, defusing conflict, and bridging divides. Met with the folks at @ymca of Jefferson County to discuss my Building Civic Bridges Act for tackling division – thanks for a productive talk!

Blue skies at the Michigan State Capitol, where the @YMCALansing mobile kitchen has pulled up to show how #theYFeedsKids & promotes healthy living across the state @michiganymcas #Yadvocate 🍎 ☀️
