International Involvement

The YMCA is an international movement with Ys all over the world. Developing programs with international involvement might seem overwhelming and expensive, but you don't have to bring your youth participants to another country to have them involved internationally. Especially now, with the power of the web, you can connect with other YMCAs with no resources other than your computer. Youth can partner with a youth program in another country to learn and share about their schools, to develop a shared understanding of a global issue, to co-create a digital movie or photo album on a topic they care about.
