If you want to find out more about global youth work or develop a global youth work project in your YMCA, our global youth work team can help.

We deliver projects and support staff and youth workers to run programmes with young people in more than 230 YMCAs across the UK and Ireland. We also run Y Care International's Youth Workers Network, which supports youth workers to develop global youth work programmes and share good practice.

We also work closely with YMCA Ireland's global youth work team, who are part of our department. YMCA Ireland supports two part-time global youth work development officers who work to develop the capacity of staff and volunteers in local YMCAs on global youth work issues, and help them incorporate global perspectives into their existing programmes.
