Welcoming Week App Quest Challenge 2026
Join Our Welcoming Week Quest Challenge
In a world where many people feel disconnected, a simple hello, introduction or shared workout can go a long way. That’s what Welcoming Week is all about!
Welcoming Week is a national YMCA initiative that celebrates what makes our communities stronger: connection, belonging and feeling welcome.
This Welcoming Week, we’re challenging Greater Austin Y members to step outside their comfort zone and show others what makes the Y more than a gym through a series of fun challenges in the YMCA app.
How to Participate
- Challenge Dates: September 10-19, 2026
