Visit the Y all month long for events that welcome members, guests and our greater community.
Our Y celebrates #WomensHistoryMonth, pausing to reflect on the experiences of women who have paved important paths for progress and made a profound impact in our community. View resources that help all to connect to the importance of honoring sacrifices and achievements in history.
The first National Women’s Day was held in the U.S. on February 28, 1909. The idea was well-received globally, and the first International Women’s Day took place in 1911, drawing more than 1 million people to rallies worldwide. Decades later, the United Nations General Assembly officially marked March 8 as International Women’s Day in 1975.
Visit the Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. > https://www.womenshistorymonth.gov

Women-owned businesses are on the rise, but women still represent a minority of business owners. March is a perfect time to show your solidarity with these tenacious leaders, entrepreneurs, and service providers.
A message from our CEO: Cheers to the women of our YMCA and strong women everywhere!
