READY PLAYER Y…GAME ON! GET READY TO CONNECT, EDUCATE, & INSPIRE AT THE 2025 FALL STAFF RALLY
Like the Y, games connect us through shared experiences and provide spaces for belonging. Games make learning fun and interactive while using problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and they inspire us to be challenged, motivated, curious, and imaginative.
Throughout Rally, you will have the opportunity to connect with colleagues who are just as committed to the game (our cause) as you are. It is a time where we can educate one another and learn through transformative sessions that will inspire all of us to continue to learn, grow and thrive through the important work that we do. Our theme, “Game On! Connect, Educate, Inspire” challenges us to think outside the box, find ways to overcome obstacles, and spark curiosity—all while having fun!
Fall Staff Rally is not just an event—it’s a celebration of our collective journey and a springboard to future successes. Let’s seize this moment to connect with one another, educate through shared experiences, and inspire each other and the communities that we serve. Together, we can and will achieve greatness!
Registration opens early August.
