Be a Part of Big Read!

The YWCA Knoxville is excited to be participating again with The Big Read Program, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts to inspire more reading in our communities.

Over the years, Y-Teens have participated in The Big Read by reading the selected book and hosting Discussions, volunteering for events, etc. If you or your club or interested in being a part of The Big Read program, check out the YWCA Knoxville Big Read website and email Mary Alice Varga at mvarga@ywcaknox.com for more information and updates!

Craft Day at the YWCA!!

September 19th 3-6pm at the YWCA

Come spend Craft Day with the residents at the YWCA! There are several ways you can get involved:

1. Come join us!
2. Volunteer to teach a 1-1 & 1/2 hour craft.
3. Donate craft items such as drawing paper, pencils, glue, scissors, and things to make cards and scrapbooks!
4. Tell your friends about our Craft Day and encourage them to donate craft items or teach a craft!

We are encouraging residents to bring their own things to work on or join us in activities! We also will be keeping a few things on hand for residents who may not have anything to bring to work on and aren’t interested in the activity we are doing. That way everyone can participate!

For more information or to donate items, email Mary Alice Varga at mvarga@ywcaknox.com today!
