To support their “Creating Connected Communities” strategic initiative, the YMCA of the USA asked us to design a deck of activity cards for use in staff meetings, member programs and classes, and other internal group sessions.
Across the YMCA, connection is what transforms programs from transactional experiences into meaningful ones that strengthen individuals, relationships, and communities. The activities in this deck were designed to help local Ys bring connection to life in practical, everyday ways.
The finished decks were distributed at the 2026 General Assembly of YMCAs in New Orleans.
