All youth deserve access to education, access to health services and decent work.
I dedicate this International #YouthDay to all the young women and men who still struggle today to get the education they deserve. We must commit to a global education system which is inclusive, fair and accessible. #Youth2030 #YMCA2044 #TransformingEducation
A breathtaking parade:
Colourful moment at #YMCA175 - YMCA delegations from all over the world presenting their flags. This shows how diverse and inclusive the YMCA movement is.
Agree - and thank you Carlos. Your commitment, passion and beliefs and leadership are key:
This week at #YMCA175 was a turning point. The perception of YMCA is changing. I am grateful to all the organisers, staff, volunteers, speakers and delegates who attended the event. I was inspired, challenged and encouraged. Many thanks to all! "Ce n'est qu'un au revoir".
Thank you to the JR Mott family for your wonderful presence and the replica medal - this means so much to the entire YMCA family!
Our President @ymcapelton received a replica of former #WorldYMCA SG John R. Mott's #NobelPeacePrize at #YMCA175 on behalf of members of the Mott family. #history #heritage
Looking forward to sharing and listening.
Official opening of the #GA2019 - the weather is bright and fantastic, so are all the smiles around here! With @ymcapelton, we will speak about the @WorldYMCA vision and the importance of global empowerment of young people #YMCA #YforAll #YMCA4Good
And looking forward to seeing you Chad and everyone attending the #GA2019!

Great opportunity to see how entrepreneurial these young people are. The whole Haiti tech summit is put in place by young people below 30 years

It was a pleasure and an honour to attend the AA GA - Onward Together!
It was our great pleasure to host the 11th General Assembly in Johannesburg, South Africa. Your participation in this event was vibrant, engaging and meaningful. We thank you for together working to put our youth in the Driving seat of the African Renaissance. Siyahamba!
