Shine On 2023 Brand Campaign "Obstacles"

Our new brand awareness campaign continues the storytelling of last year's "Obstacles" campaign which builds on the theme that everyone deserves the opportunity to ignite their true potential. It highlights youth homelessness, employment struggles, physical and mental health issues, and shows the Y is a safe place that provides support, positivity and guidance, and allows people to let their potential shine.
