YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles

“On a recent morning at the Pasadena-Sierra Madre YMCA, hundreds of volunteers unloaded and organized goods, and staffed stations to keep donations organized and help people find what they needed." LAist shared in a recent article, our fire relief efforts at the Pasadena-Sierra Madre YMCA - there we have distribution set up for impacted individuals to take whatever they need and support from incredible volunteers to support.

In honor of National Girls & Women in Sports Day - let's put a spotlight on the incredible girls and women athletes of the LA Y! Women and girls make up the majority of our members and sports enrollments at the LA Y and every spring we host Girls Empowerment Day to give girls the opportunity to participate and play a variety of sports, as well as empowering them to pursue whatever goals they set for themselves and achieve. Let's hear it for the girls! #ymcala #ymca #LosAngeles #Equality #WomenEmpowerment #WomenSports

The work to rebuild our communities and uplift our neighbors is going to take time and resources. City National Bank came to the LA Y immediately to join in the rapid response and gave $500,000 toward short-term and long-term relief efforts. The Y has seen an outpouring of generosity from individuals, foundations, and corporations to ensure every survivor has access to the support and care they deserve. Thank you to CNB and to all who have given to restore our vibrant city.

A former enslaved man and the first Black American to become a clerk in the U.S. Patent Office, Anthony Bowen founded the first YMCA for the Black community in Washington, D.C., in 1853, eight years before the Civil War. Additional Black Ys and college chapters were established in the following decades, with membership reaching 28,000 nationwide by the mid-1920s. #BlackHistoryMonth #YForAll 📷: @yarchives #ymcala #ymca #LosAngeles

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, we are honoring the stories of Black leaders who helped move the Y – and America – forward, as well as recognizing that history continues to be created each and every day. #ymcala #LosAngeles #blackleaders #equity

Two weeks ago, we gave special thanks at our Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Brotherhood Breakfast to recognize all first responders who have given all of their energy and strength to valiantly helping and protecting our communities during this time of crisis. And we continue to thank them moving forward for their efforts. Let us all recognize our brave first responders and the spirit of volunteerism in Los Angeles. #ymcala #drmartinlutherkingjr #brotherhood #service #volunteerism #firstresponders #police #fire #volunteer

Happy Lunar New Year 2025! It seems fitting that this is the year of the Wood Snake. Snakes are revered for their ability to shed their skin and renew themselves, symbolizing transformation and rebirth. LA is in need of this renewal and rebirth as we rebuild from the fires. The Wood Snake symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, intuition and creativity - we wish this for all who are healing and transforming, and a Happy New Year. #ymcala #LosAngeles #LunarNewYear #newbeginnings #growth #rebuild
