Thank you to some great volunteers from Northwestern Mutual who enjoyed spending time with day campers at Camp Widjiwagan! They had fun working with campers during lunch, in the barn, at the pool, getting ready for the zip line and so much more. They all enjoyed being at camp for the afternoon! #ForABetterUs

Thanks for joining us at Nashville’s annual Pride Festival this past weekend! We loved learning more about how the Y can be a welcoming and supportive place for everyone in the Middle Tennessee community. A special thanks to the Y’s LGBTQ+ Resource Network for their leadership in organizing another great experience at Nashville Pride and for the work they do to support the LGBTQ+ community throughout the year. As Pride Month comes to an end, the Y remains committed to making Middle Tennessee a welcoming and inclusive place for all! #YForAll

At the YMCA, we welcome our local refugee neighbors in Middle Tennessee and recognize the many ways refugee families and individuals enrich our schools, culture, economy and sense of connectedness.

Today the YMCA is celebrating Juneteenth, also known as Jubilee Day or Freedom Day. Juneteenth honors June 19, 1865, the day enslaved African Americans in the state of Texas were informed that, in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation, all enslaved people were freed. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. In 1997, the founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation, Ben Haith, created the Juneteenth flag with illustrator Lisa Jeanne Graf. The design depicts a bursting new star on the horizon, which represents a new freedom for a new people. The colors—red, white, and blue— were chosen because the formerly enslaved people and their descendants are all Americans. Learn more about Juneteenth by watching this virtual Juneteenth exhibit by the National Museum of African American History & Culture: ymcamidtn.org/juneteenth
