Y's Men International
"To acknowledge the duty that accompanies every right.”
Y’s Men International is oriented to serving the worldwide YMCA and the communities in which it is present throughout the world. The membership of the Association consists of affiliated local clubs known as Y’s Men’s Clubs, Y’s Women’s Clubs, Y’s Men and Women’s Clubs or Y Service Clubs.
The membership of each local club consists of men or women or both. No one is denied membership status because of race, creed, colour or national origin.
As Y’s Men International is a world-wide fellowship of persons of all faiths working constructively together in partnership with and supporting the YMCA, its mission is to strive through active service to develop, encourage and provide leadership to build a better world for all humankind.
The objectives of all affiliated clubs are:
-
To function primarily as service clubs for the YMCA.
-
To support other worthy organisations.
-
To encourage justice in civic and international affairs, abstaining always from party politics.
-
To keep members informed on and actively involved in religious, civic, economic, social and international matters.
-
To cultivate good fellowship.
-
To support International, Area and Regional projects of the Association.
