International Programs

Did you know that the YMCA is in 119 countries?  Ys around the globe respond to community needs with programs and services that help people to reach their full potential.

YMCA of the USA's World Service supports the powerful work of Ys worldwide, which often operate in challenging environments. In many communities, the Y is the only place where a child can access a library, a teen can learn about HIV/AIDS prevention or a parent can develop job skills for better family stability.

Our YMCA's Commitment
