Vision 2030 adopted at World Council, July 2022!

In a global first for the YMCA, the Vision 2030 strategy was adopted at the World Council, in Aarhus, Denmark today (5 July 2022). The historic moment was witnessed by over 1,000 in-person attendees and over 1,000 online attendees with a record World Council attendance of over 2,000 people.

Our YMCA Movement has over 90,000 staff, 920,000 volunteers and 12,000 branches worldwide, and our Vision 2030 global strategy was co-created with over 120 movements invited to contribute, and extensive inputs collated from global gatherings, forums and consultations over the last three years.

We are so proud of this historic moment and achievement – and can truly say it was a collaborative effort, with input from every level of our global organisation.

“We celebrate this historic moment in the YMCA’s history. This is our Moment. This is our Time.

This is our Vision 2030.” said Carlos Sanvee, Secretary General, World YMCA.
