Happy Birthday to us!

06 June 2024

As we mark our monumental milestone of turning 180 years young, we're filled with a sense of awe for the journey that has brought us here. With a legacy spanning across 122 countries, the Y has grown into a movement dedicated to empowering young people and strengthening communities.

From our humble beginnings in London, we've evolved into a beacon of hope and opportunity, offering a wide array of services and programs that touch the lives of tens of thousands of individuals in profound ways. From children’s services including early learning, kindergarten, and OSHC to recreation, camping adventures, youth programs, and disability services, we continue to innovate and adapt to meet the ever-changing needs of our communities.

At the heart of everything we do is our unwavering commitment to amplifying the voices of our youngest generations—creating a better world with, for, and by young people.

We believe in creating spaces where every individual, regardless of background or circumstance, feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. A space where everyone belongs.

Our global reach allows us to impact lives on a scale like never before, uniting people from all walks of life under the common goal of making the world a more just, equitable place.

Together, we can continue to make a difference, one life at a time. 🌍💫
