Diversity, Inclusion, & Global Engagement

The Two Rivers YMCA joined the YMCA D.I.G. Innovation Network in November 2018 to build bridges between diverse communities by creating greater equity for all, providing inclusive memberships, programs, and services.

We're stronger together when individuals can freely express their authentic selves. Honoring the differences that make each individual unique celebrates the Quad Cities' richly diverse community. We strive to be a welcoming place for people of all abilities, cultures, economic backgrounds, and identities.
