2023 YMCA National Advocacy Days

On February 15, 2023, the objective of this event was to establish better relationships with United States elected officials so we can better tell our YMCA Story for the Houston and Texas areas. Three areas of focus were Child Care, Chronic Illness, and Civic Education.
