Alexandria Area YMCA

The time changed, but our appreciation for our Aquatics Director didn't. 🫶 Happy YMCA Anniversary, Rob! 🎉

We were proud to honor U.S. Representative Michelle Fischbach as a “YMCA Congressional Champion” in Washington, D.C., on February 14 for her leadership on the bipartisan Investing in Rural America Act. Jackie Peters, CEO of the Alexandria Area YMCA presented the award during the YMCA of the USA’s National Advocacy Days. At the conference, over 400 Y leaders from across the country traveled to visit members of Congress to discuss the vital role that Ys play in communities nationwide and to urge them to advance policies that empower young people, improve the health and well-being of people of all ages and foster social responsibility.

Today, we get to celebrate not one but TWO of our amazing team members and their impact! 👶 Child Care Director, Tracy, is celebrating 5 years. 🏋️♀️ Health & Wellness Coordinator, Tammi, is celebrating 13 years. Thank you for all you do, Tammi and Tracy!

Congratulations to all these amazing difference makers who are celebrating their Y anniversaries in January and February! 🎉

The history of the YMCA – like the history of the United States – is a story of incremental progress toward greater inclusion and equity for all. As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, The Alexandria Area YMCA is honoring the stories of Black leaders who helped move the Y – and America – forward. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gxAZSz-8
