OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
For 175 years, YMCAs have nurtured the power and potential of young people to lead change in their own communities and beyond. In 120 countries across the globe, YMCAs work to empower youth – from childhood to young adulthood – with the support they need to become changemakers who create a better future for all.
YMCA of the USA's World Service Campaign raises critical resources to strengthen the capacity of Ys to reach more children, teens and young adults with access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive, such as quality health services, education and employment. Your support empowers these Ys to fill the gaps and help youth develop into the next generation of leaders who will transform their communities for the better. Every young person has the potential to change the world. To learn more about the impact your World Service gift can make, download the campaign brochure or email [email protected].
