Forward Planning
August is the month that we look at forward planning.
Last year a special working group developed a 10-year blueprint to build YMI into an organisation eminent in fellowship and community impact.
Strategy 2032, approved by the International Council, affirms our desire to thrive collectively and to make an enduring and positive difference in the world as we enter our second century of existence. Over the next ten years, we will work for an equitable and sustainable world, focusing on the areas of health, environment and education as mission partners of the YMCA.
