Today, we honor Juneteenth — a day of freedom, reflection, resilience, and joy.

At the Greater Providence Y, we celebrate the strength of Black communities, the importance of belonging, and the ongoing work of building spaces where everyone is seen, valued, and welcome.

Happy Juneteenth. 🖤❤️💚

At our Y, belonging shows up in everyday moments: the class you keep coming back to, the staff who know your name, and the programs where everyone is encouraged to show up as they are. 🏳️‍🌈

This Pride Month, we celebrate the people who make our community stronger, more welcoming, and more connected. We’re proud you’re here.

As a reminder, all GPYMCA branches will be closing at 11:30am tomorrow, June 11, for Staff Appreciation.

If you’ve ever spent fifteen minutes trying to leave the Y because you kept running into people you know, you get why this upgrade matters.

Today, we officially cut the ribbon on our renovated entrance, lobby, and new elevator. At the Y, the space where we connect matters just as much as the space where we work out.

This is where kids gather for programs, members catch up after class, our team greets people by name, and community happens in between the routines.

We’re grateful to our members, donors, staff, New England Construction, The Champlin Foundation, and everyone who helped bring this project to life. Our thanks also to Councilwoman Sue AnderBois for her continued support of our branch as we look ahead to future improvements.

Same branch. Better vibes. More room for community. 💙

Mental health is for everyone.

Mental well-being is shaped by more than what’s happening in our minds.

It’s influenced by external factors too, like access to food, stable housing, a sense of belonging, and strong community connections.

At the YMCA, we believe mental health belongs to everyone, and
Everyone deserves support.

Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath (literally)

Breath-holding contests? Yeah, let’s not. They might seem like harmless fun, but breath-holding games in the water can be seriously dangerous, even for strong swimmers.

Holding your breath too long can lead to shallow water blackout, a silent and sudden emergency that can happen without warning.

At the Y, we teach that water safety isn’t just about swimming, it’s about smart choices.

So, skip the contests, and keep the fun safe for everyone.
