Y Care International creates brighter futures for ambitious and talented young people living in the worlds most challenging circumstances, by kick-starting their journey into work and out of poverty. We provide young people with the training and skills they need to help them build a sustainable living, take control of their lives and lead whole communities to adapt, grow stronger and thrive.

Y Care International aims to create one million work and enterprise opportunities for young people by 2030.

£100 could buy a starter kit including tools and equipment for a young person to help them start their business.

YMCA175 is our anniversary event which is bringing young people together in London this August to create global change.

Yet the realities that many young people face around the world mean that economic circumstances restrict their ability to participate in opportunities like YMCA175. When equal partners, their optimism, creativity, and talent are transformative. Help us to make them equal partners.

Through your sponsorship we hope to provide subsidy for 125 young people.

Taking place at ExCeL London, 4th-8th August 2019, YMCA175 is a global youth event that will have elements of a conference, summit and celebration, that will be a living embodiment of YMCA, bringing together thousands of young leaders and YMCA senior leaders and networks from around the world.
