From the General Secretary’s Desk……

The YMCA Bangalore has always been working closely with the Community since its beginning, as it is the main objective of the Association which includes health, development, sports activities, a comfortable stay for YMCA members, which all aims at the total well-being of individuals. Empowering of young people to become self-supportive also has been in the focus of the Association’s efforts. The Bangalore YMCA transitioned itself through times, meeting the needs of young people, igniting in them new perspectives in carrying  on the future vision, also focuses on women in Crises, empowering them, designing programmes and activities for them, for their development. Street Children project yet another milestone of Bangalore YMCA and also the YMCA College of Physical Education project keeping its motto of Body, Mind & Spirit to enhance leadership in service to humanity.

The permanent thing we see in this world is CHANGE. The Bangalore  YMCA has always gone through various phases of change in its successful existence, yet keeping up its mission of serving the needy people inspired by our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ based on love, compassion, justice and peace.

In these challenging situations, the YMCA Bangalore has always been serious in Reviewing and Refocusing its mission perspectives while effectively adapting to the changes of modern times, which may be social, political, economical and spiritual in nature and bring about effective programmes & activities for the benefit of people/members.
