Promoting CommUNITY at the Eugene Family YMCA
Overview
This inspiring educational series invites us to explore ways to build awareness, compassion and kindness in our everyday lives. Each month centers around a new theme, offering opportunities to connect beyond our differences, foster meaningful relationships, and grow as better neighbors and community members. Hear from experts who bring fresh insights on each month's theme, helping us better understand and support one another. Together, let’s gain the skills to be active allies and create a stronger, more unified community. Join us and be part of something meaningful! You're invited to join just one session or multiple sessions throughout the year!
