We are living in challenging times. The world is facing an unprecedented crisis, from inequality and migration complexities to digital skill gaps, unemployment, and surge of mental health problems.

Despite all, here at YMCA, we believe not only in hope, but in being the change we want to see in the world. We believe in driving progress to address these issues and empower communities to create positive change.

YMCA Europe is a network of 35 national and 3,190 local YMCAs across the continent, serving over 2 million beneficiaries every year. We are a leading organization dedicated to empowering young people, promoting community development, and fostering social justice. With a rich history and a commitment to positive change, YMCA plays a pivotal role in creating impactful initiatives for youth across the continent.

From equipping individuals with essential digital skills through vocational training, entrepreneurship education, career guidance, and mentoring programs to providing a warm embrace and vital support to refugees and migrants fleeing war, persecution, or poverty, we are there every step of the way.

Our mission extends far beyond mere assistance. We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, and we fiercely defend their rights and interests at every level—locally, nationally, and across Europe.

Through advocacy, education, and social action, we empower young people to raise their voices and demand the justice and equality they deserve.

Yet, our work is far from over. The need for support and assistance continues to grow.

With your help, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who are struggling. Your donation, no matter the size, can provide a glimmer of hope to those who need it most.

Please join us in our mission to make Europe a better place for everyone. Donate today and become a part of the YMCA Europe family. Together, let’s stand in solidarity.

We thank you for your kindness and generosity.
