Local and National YMCA Associations are strongly rooted in their communities. Depending on priority issues affecting young people in the community, YMCAs work in: sustainable development, food security, education, leadership development, health, gender equality, peace building, and many other areas. In addition to research, awareness-raising, and training in these areas, YMCAs also advocate for public policies that protect young people’s rights. Through these actions YMCAs are creating long-lasting change in the lives of millions of youth and their communities.
You can support programmes that equip young people with the knowledge and skills to become agents of change in their communities, and within the YMCA Movement.
