Blue Ridge Leaders’ School is a program of the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly and the Assembly NEEDS OUR HELP! The Assembly is expecting over a 75% loss in operational revenue due to COVID-19 cancellations which will severely impact their ability to function and could affect the future of BRLS! If you are able – please consider a donation to the assembly TODAY!
