 YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION (YMCA)
The Young Men’s Christian Association is a global faith based Confederation of 130 National Movements founded in England in 1844. This noble association serves over 40 million youths worldwide from all religious and social backgrounds. Based on the above, the YMCA was established in Sierra Leone since 1912 on the pretext of designing and providing programmes and services that addresses issues of relevance to the body, Mind and Spiritual Upliftment of our younger people. Through its existence in Sierra Leone, the YMCA can today boast of a voluntary membership of about 1000 with 60 professional staff, operating in 23 local communities in Sierra Leone.
Moreover, this organization has brought together local YMCA branches in order to harness resources, share experiences and face the challenges of our country Sierra Leone as a network. It has also engaged itself in broadest possible cross sections of the communities in identifying, designing implementing and evaluating youth empowerment programmes. This further fits into their vision, which states to Empowering Young People for the African Renaissance.
