We will be closed today, Friday June 19, in observance of Juneteenth.

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with news that more than 250,000 enslaved Black people were finally free - two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth marks our country’s second Independence Day. Although it has long been celebrated in the African American community, this monumental event remains largely unknown to many Americans.

Today, Juneteenth is a time to celebrate freedom, reflect on our history, gather with loved ones, and look ahead to a more just and equitable future. It stands as the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S. It's a day that honors African American freedom and emphasizes education, progress, and achievement.

🌟 Celebrating Our LIVESTRONG® Graduates! 🌟

We are so proud to celebrate the participants of our most recent LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA session. Over the past 12 weeks, they’ve shown incredible resilience. Building strength physically, emotionally, and as a supportive community.

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is a free 12-week program for adult cancer survivors, made possible through our donors and the Maine Cancer Foundation, and led by trained YMCA wellness coaches.

Our next LIVESTRONG session will start in the Fall. Keep an eye out for registration.

Please join us in welcoming our two newest members of the Penobscot Bay YMCA Board of Directors: Jim Owen and John Thibodeau!

Jim Owen, a Camden resident, brings a lifetime of experience as an inventor, entrepreneur, and small business owner. Since joining the Y, Jim has been inspired by the organization's role as a community hub, serving more than 5,000 members through programs that strengthen individuals and families of all ages.

John Thibodeau first came to the Y in 2014 to join a karate class, beginning a journey that led to national and international training opportunities. John values the YMCA as a vital community resource, providing health, education, and child care opportunities through both our Rockland and Rockport facilities.

We're grateful for Jim and John's commitment to our mission and look forward to their leadership and service as we continue building a stronger, healthier Midcoast community.

Please help us welcome them to the Board! 💙
