Welcoming Week

September 12-21, 2025

Welcoming Week, an initiative of Y-USA’s national partner Welcoming America, is an annual event that celebrates communities coming together to promote cross-cultural understanding and raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone.

Y staff from around the country share the many ways that Welcoming Week brings together immigrant and U.S.-born neighbors to connect and celebrate what unites us as a community.
