It is a gathering of young individuals, professionals, volunteers, and senior leaders from the YMCA in Canada, United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
The objective is to connect people’s voices through an international, multicultural, collaborative, intergenerational, and innovative experience for the creation and development of local solutions with a global impact, focusing on VISION 2030.
Vision 2030
The creation of Vision 2030 begins with three years of exploring youth to understand their needs, as well as validations with YMCAs around the world. From there, a global vision, mission and four priority pillars are developed.
