Global Services
Worldwide, the Y serves more than 45 million people in 124 countries. Ys across the U.S. play an integral role in strengthening the leadership and youth programs of the Y around the world.
At the Y, building a strong global community begins at home. Ys in the U.S. help young people develop cultural competencies, provide diverse populations the chance to connect to the community and give individuals around the world access to life-changing resources and support. As an interconnected global network, the Y has the resources and solutions to build bridges and make our changing communities stronger—both at home and abroad.
