The Granite YMCA

Disability Pride Month is celebrated in July to commemorate the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. At The Granite YMCA, we’re committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential. #DisabilityPrideMonth

Be a good neighbor! On World Refugee Day and every day, be kind and welcome your neighbors with open arms and caring hearts. You never know what someone has gone through to be where they are today, so remember to always practice kindness, patience and acceptance. #WorldRefugeeDay

Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, celebrates the emancipation of those who were enslaved—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. To celebrate, the Y invites you to learn more about this day of freedom! #Juneteenth #YForAll

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and dad figures in our Y family! Thank you for all you do to keep our families and our community healthy and strong! Did you know that Father’s Day started at the Y? Over 110 years ago, a young woman raised by her single father wanted to celebrate fatherhood. The first Father’s Day celebration was held at the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910 #HappyFathersDay

Thanks to these volunteers from BridgeView Technology Consulting whose morning work enhanced the entry gardens at the YMCA of the Seacoast branch yesterday. It was great to have you!

Point32Health deserves a big shout-out from The Granite YMCA! Thanks to your terrific crew of volunteers who helped “raise the tent”, put together picnic tables for summer camp, and painted the new fence at our Greater Londonderry branch today. We love having you join us and cannot wait for next June to do this again!

It’s Founders’ Day! On this date in 1844, George Williams and 11 other young men held a meeting in London that would lead to the founding of the YMCA. For 180 years, the Y has worked to strengthen communities –creating the first group swim classes, spearheading the first English as a Second Language (ESL) class and addressing chronic disease through programs like the Y’s Diabetes Prevention Program.

At the Y, Pride Month is an opportunity to live up to our mission of providing a safe, welcoming community for all. Happy Pride! #PrideMonth #Pride2024

It's been another amazing week around The Granite YMCA Association with Liberty Mutual Insurance volunteers providing cheerful and energetic assistance. Huge truckloads of debris were picked up from winter and spring storms at YMCA Camp Mi-Te-Na. Gaga pits were set up, and the archery range, tomahawk toss and stage areas were cleaned up at the YMCA of Greater Londonderry. Thank you Liberty Mutual!
