YOUNG PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
Young people have the power and potential to change the world. Support young changemakers in your community and around the globe by encouraging them to:
- Volunteer! Volunteering is an excellent way to create positive change. Explore opportunities at the Y or other cause-driven organizations.
- Be a Leader! The Y connects young people to their potential through different programs and clubs that foster leadership skills, teamwork, civic engagement and character development. Ask the staff at your Y for details.
- Connect Globally! A global perspective is critical for lasting change. Expand your worldview by learning a new language, listening to a news podcast, or trying foods from another culture. For more ideas, visit ymca.net/membernews
