Yesterday, I had privilege to witness an incredible experience with Christopher Reed and the Center for Healing and Justice through Sport. Over 40 of our Youth Sports and PLAY program leaders dedicated time from their busy summer schedules to participate in a professional development training session with CHJS. This event reaffirmed our commitment that #WeAreYouthDevelopment and that #NothingHealsLikeSports. A big thank you to Chris and CHJS for partnering with the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles for this amazing workshop. I am excited to see how our partnership will continue to grow #CHJS #ymcaLA
