Y staff across the Carolinas and the entire movement are invited to participate in a variety of regional trainings offered throughout the first half of 2026. Courses will be hosted in Raleigh, Charlotte, Greenville, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, and other locations, allowing participants to choose the sessions most relevant to their role and interests. Trainings will support multiple certifications, including aquatics, evidence-based health initiatives, and YMCA Leadership Certifications, while also providing opportunities to strengthen skills, share best practices, and connect with peers across the movement.
