YWCO Girls Club

Today, we honor Juneteenth—a celebration of freedom, history, and resilience. In observance of the holiday, Girls Club is closed today. We hope everyone has a safe and meaningful day with family and loved ones. ❤️🖤💚

🎉 Just TWO days until we celebrate 120 years of the YWCO! 🎉

We can't wait to celebrate this incredible milestone with our community. Join us as we kick off the day with a Community Walk at 9:00 AM, followed by vendors, delicious food, family fun, and plenty of opportunities to connect and celebrate together.

For 120 years, the YWCO has been built by the people who call it home, and we are so excited to honor our legacy while looking ahead to the future. ❤️

Come celebrate, make memories, and be part of the next chapter of the YWCO story!

Today, we're celebrating one of the greatest gifts the YWCO has been blessed with over the last 120 years; our incredible community partners. 💙

For generations, the YWCO has been strengthened by organizations, businesses, volunteers, and friends who believe in our mission and share our commitment to creating a stronger, healthier, and more connected community. Their support, generosity, and partnership have helped make a lasting impact on countless lives.

As we prepare to celebrate our 120th Birthday this weekend, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the many community partners who are joining us for this special occasion. Your willingness to give your time, talents, resources, and support means more than words can express. Because of you, the YWCO continues to be a place where children grow, families connect, and our community thrives.

This celebration is not just about honoring our past—it's about celebrating the people and partnerships that continue to move us forward. We are so thankful for every business, organization, vendor, volunteer, and community friend who has chosen to be part of our story.

💙 3 days to go. 120 years of partnership. Countless lives touched. A legacy still in motion.

To all of our community partners joining us this Saturday—thank you for believing in our mission and helping us celebrate this incredible milestone. We are honored to celebrate alongside you and cannot wait to make new memories together.

✨ 5 Days Until We Celebrate 120 Years of Legacy in Motion! ✨

Today, we're celebrating something that has been created every single day for the last 120 years—memories. 💙

For generations, the YWCO has been a place where memories are made. From first swim lessons and summer camp adventures to fitness classes, community events, Girls Club, family programs, and lifelong friendships, countless moments have shaped the story of the YWCO.

Some memories are big milestones, while others are the simple moments that stay with us forever—a counselor who made a difference, a friend met at camp, a class that became part of a weekly routine, or a place that always felt like home.

As we celebrate 120 years of serving Athens and the surrounding community, we are grateful for every memory that has been created within the YWCO family. These moments are more than stories—they are the legacy that has carried us forward since 1906.

In honor of our upcoming birthday celebration, we would love to hear from you! Share your favorite YWCO photo, memory, or story in the comments. Whether your memory is from decades ago or just last week, it is a part of our history and a reminder of the impact the YWCO has had on so many lives.

💙 5 days to go. 120 years of memories. Countless stories. A legacy still in motion.

Today at Girls Club, we began celebrating Juneteenth by honoring freedom, culture, history, and community. ❤️🖤💚

Our girls spent time learning, creating, and reflecting on the importance of this day while celebrating the strength, resilience, and contributions of those who came before us. We are grateful for opportunities like these that help our girls grow, learn, and embrace the rich history that continues to shape our future.

Girls Can. Girls Do. Create • Explore • Inspire. ✨

Today we're celebrating one of the most meaningful parts of the YWCO's story—friendship. 💙

For 120 years, friendships have been formed within these walls and through our programs. From summer camp buddies and swim lesson partners to fitness class friends and lifelong connections, the YWCO has always been about bringing people together.

The faces in these photos may span different generations, but the smiles tell the same story. Through every decade, friendships have grown here—built on encouragement, support, shared experiences, and a sense of belonging.

As we celebrate 120 years of service to Athens and the surrounding community, we are grateful for every friendship that has started at the YWCO. These connections are more than memories; they are part of the legacy that has carried us forward since 1906.

In honor of our upcoming birthday celebration, we'd love to hear from you! Share a photo, story, or memory of a friendship that began at the YWCO. Your story is part of our story. 💙
