YMCA Vision 2030

Through YMCA International Service Programmes (ISP), YMCA of Singapore collaborates closely with regional YMCA counterparts to reach out to the less privileged communities in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Volunteers would be involved in community development projects which focus on improving healthcare, education, infrastructural improvement, sustainability, conservation and capacity building, with the aim of empowering these communities.
