.@SecondGentleman is a tough act to follow, but it was an honor to speak with the next generation of leaders about civic engagement at the @YMCA Youth Governors Gala last night. As a member of the Y family myself, it felt a lot like home.
The #YMCA is fortunate to have such a strong relationship with @Surgeon_General. We can work together to address social isolation and mental health, especially for young people, and build healthier futures for our communities! #Yadvocate
Great to catch up w Christian Engle @YMCABR — IN PERSON — at #ymca meeting of inspirational leaders today. Lots of good conversations around #Relief4Charities and the role of Ys as a center of our communities. Great to be with everyone again!
Did you know that YMCAs are providing emergency child care at over 900 sites nationwide? Just one way that nonprofits are serving communities through this crisis. Please mention the important work of nonprofits if you make remarks today! #Relief4Charities@RepGarretGraves
