YMCA Europe is a working fellowship to strengthen movements where people grow in body, mind, and spirit. The YMCA, founded in 1844 and having over 45 million members, is the oldest and largest youth organization in the world. We dream of a European YMCA Movement - inspired by its Christian ecumenical mission - moved by an open and creative spirit, and actively involving young people - playing an active and prophetic role in today's global and local realities - uniting each other to realize the YMCA mission in the diversity of national contexts which is - challenging and relevant for young people both a sign of God's Reign and Love on earth.
