Celebrate Welcoming Week at the Madison Area YMCA!

Join us for a week of connection, creativity and mindfulness as we place what makes our community stronger: our people, our stories and our shared humanity. Each day features a hands-on activity that invites you to slow down, learn and celebrate the many cultures that make the Madison Area YMCA a welcoming place for all.
