    Social Responsibility - Global Services

    A MOVEMENT FOR GLOBAL GOOD

    The YMCA is one of the oldest and largest movements in world in service to strengthening community. Founded in 1844, the Y now operates in 125 countries and has over 46 million members worldwide. Because of this global reach, we are able to respond to trends in migration, health, economic livelihood and education that are reshaping our local communities.

     

    A Strong Global Community Begins At Home

    Our YMCA mission compels us to ensure all in our community are welcome and have the same opportunities to participate and engage. The YMCA of Greater Charlotte understands that we must reflect, engage and connect with diverse populations at home and around the world. By working together with different segments of our community, we significantly strengthen their impact, community relevance and sustainability. From international partnerships to intentionally serving our new neighbors’ needs, the Y seeks to think globally, act locally in service to all.
