Happy Father’s Day! 💙

Did you know the first Father's Day celebration was held at a YMCA in Spokane, Washington, in 1910? Since then, dads and father figures have continued to make a lasting impact on families and communities everywhere.

Thank you for all you do.

Happy Founder's Day! We are so blessed to provide programs all over the Crossroads. Thank you for supporting our YMCA! 🥰

It’s time to take action!

As we wrap up Five Days of Action®, we invite you to sign the pledge to protect children from abuse and commit to ongoing digital safety awareness.

Sign the pledge today at fivedaysofaction.org.

Every adult has a role to play in protecting children, online and off.

Today during Five Days of Action®, we’re highlighting the importance of monitoring online activity and having a plan.

Did you know 1 in 5 children who use a digital device will be sexually solicited online? Technology changes fast, and kids are targeted on the apps, games, and sites they love. Having a Cyber P.L.A.N., monitoring device use, and teaching online safety rules can help keep your child safe.

Visit fivedaysofaction.org and check out resources from our partners in child abuse prevention, , to learn how to set boundaries, teach good cyber habits, and protect your family online.

Today’s Five Days of Action® focus is on recognizing red flags online and in-person.

Certain behaviors can signal risk for child sexual abuse and understanding them helps you act early to keep kids safe. We’re sharing an infographic that shows what to watch for—whether the behavior may be low, moderate, or high risk—and these behaviors, or grooming, can show up both in person and online situations.

Visit fivedaysofaction.org for the infographic and be sure to check out the resources provided by the Y’s partners in child abuse prevention, National Children’s Alliance.

It’s the start of Five Days of Action®, a national movement to raise awareness and take action to protect children from abuse, both online and offline. This year, we’re focusing on digital safety, helping kids navigate the online world safely and confidently.

Join the YMCA ELCs all week long as we share tips, tools, and resources to help families build safer digital spaces together.
