What's Happening in July at the Y

Come Together for Community

The YMCA of Austin is pleased to partner with Austin Health Commons and Austin Community College to bring Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Circles to our facilities. The next Circle takes place at Northwest Family YMCA on Saturday, July 23 9:00 - 11:00 AM.

In Truth & Racial Healing Circles, attendees work together to explore the effects of racism in social, economic and government policies as well as in the places where we live, work and play. Trained facilitators guide participants through exercises which lead to deeper sharing and understanding in a safe space. These transformative groups are free to attend.
