Amazed by YMCA Setúbal. Portugal. , community impact. This YMCA serves 10,000 people per year across six centers in a city of 120,000. Today, we visited the Bela Vista Community Center located in an apartment complex where the YMCA engages 1,200 people per year in vital family social services, food bank, child care, after school programs and more. Half of the participants are immigrants. After school kids love the YMCA so much that when parents come to pick them up, they beg to stay a little longer. ❤️ Jeanette Prenger CiCi Rojas, IOM Luis Sebastião António Malveiro

Here are a few of our favourite moments from last week’s EU Global Gateway High-Level Youth Event in Brussels. World YMCA Secretary General and GYM Chair Carlos Madjri Sanvee spoke on a panel about the importance of meaningful youth participation, and The East Jerusalem YMCA youth leader Loris Tarazi was there representing the YMCA. This event was all about empowering young leaders and shaping the future! #YMCA #youthmobilize #YouthLeadstheWay
