The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) movement was started in 1844 in London by Mr George Williams and a group of likeminded concerned Christians. It is one of the oldest and largest Movements for youth in the world and now operates in 119 countries, and reaching 58 million people. The YMCA works to bring social justice and peace to young people and their communities, regardless of religion, race, gender or culture.
Established in 1902, the YMCA of Singapore is a volunteer-based Christian organisation that seeks to serve and impact all members of the community, regardless of race, language or religion, through programmes, services and enterprises to develop the body, mind and spirit.
YMCA also owns various social enterprises, such as the YMCA International House, YMCA Child Development and Student Care Centres, YMCA School and YMCA Higher Education.
It is our mission to advance a culture, which supports quality of work-life issues, enhances employee morale, facilitates effective performance, and challenges employee potential.
