YMCAs advocate for policies that strengthen families and communities; this advances our impact. Each year, TN YMCA leaders and volunteers attend YMCA of the USA's National Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C. as well as State Advocacy Day in Nashville to meet with legislators and educate them about how our Ys are serving community and about policies that strengthen our ability to be impactful.

The 2024 Y-USA National Advocacy Agenda here on LINK. The Tennessee Legislative Priorities for 2024 are coming soon.
