Diversity is so very important. We need to be as understanding, supportive, kind, reasonable, and compassionate as possible. We need to be open minded, caring, polite, and allow ourselves to become enlightened.
Everyone no matter race ,culture, or gender should have access to books, technology, or media. Books not only teach but also give comfort and acceptance.
We want to enrich and transform the lives of all and to do so, we need to know more about everyone’s diverse backgrounds.
The Winona Family YMCA is dedicated to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We work to ensure that everyone, regardless of race, gender, income, faith, sexual orientation or cultural background, feels welcome and has an opportunity to participate.
