Virtual Y became available for Open Y websites on June 19.
What is Virtual Y?
It's a digital space to provide the same content, programming and resources your members enjoy in the branch in a gated, authenticated area of your website.
12Bursts is on the move with daily physical activity and mindfulness challenges for kids and families. We've witnessed firsthand how excited kids can get from playing. It's adult-friendly too, so please share it with any of your child care teams and parent friends who are at home with kids.
Hear Betsy Grams of Cycle Health talk more about the program and what we're learning.
