This week was filled with celebrations across San Diego! Armed Services YMCA San Diego is honored to present our 2026 Toddler Achievement graduations! 🎓✨

Watching our youth grow, learn, and achieve is one of the greatest privileges we have. Through our Afterschool Achievement Academy — and now our new Toddler Achievement Academy — we are proud to support military children every step of the way.

Our little heroes graduated after learning important social skills, exploring new activities, building confidence, and of course having lots of fun before heading into the classroom this fall! 💙

We are incredibly proud of each and every child and cannot wait to continue guiding and supporting our youth throughout the 2026/2027 school year. The future is bright! 🌟

Today, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

We are reminded that freedom is never free — it is built on courage, service, and sacrifice. Today, tomorrow, and always, we remember those who gave everything so we could live in peace, opportunity, and hope.

Their legacy lives on in the strength of our nation and in the hearts of grateful Americans everywhere.

We’re SUPER excited to partner with Nature's Path Organic to celebrate their “Sweet 16 Acts of Love” campaign — honoring 16 years of Love Crunch granola and their continued commitment to giving back! 💜✨

At our upcoming Neighborhood Food Drive, we’ll be sharing the love alongside Nature’s Path by handing out extra yummy, quality goodies from their delicious product lines! 🥣💕

Join us for the Murphy Canyon NEX Food Distribution this Thursday, May 28th 🗓️
🕙 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 3293 Santo Road, San Diego, CA 92124

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms who serve, have served, and stand beside those who do. 🇺🇸💙
