About this Event
Originally created in 2010 by Carolyn Creager to deepen mentor-mentee relationships in Y-USA’s Multicultural Mentoring Program, EMLEs have evolved into powerful regional gatherings that bring the national experience “home.”
Rooted Together, Rising for Impact symbolizes the YMCA’s enduring commitment to growth, continuity, and collective movement.
As the Multicultural Leadership Development (MLD) strategy evolves, it remains a vital, lasting force—not a chapter closing, but a dynamic part of our ongoing story. Together, we are grounded in shared purpose and rising toward greater impact. This theme celebrates both our deep roots and our united ascent, capturing the transformative energy that happens when the YMCA moves as one.
