In the early 1900s, the YMCA of Greater New York introduced adult night classes to new immigrants. Today, Ys across the country continue to offer adult education programs and have responded to changing demographics by providing refugee services, New American Welcome Centers and more. The Y celebrates these achievements and continued commitment to inclusion during Immigrant Heritage Month and beyond! #CelebrateImmigrants #YForAll
