Y’s across the U.S. express solidarity and concern for the young people, families and communities who are directly impacted by the crisis currently unfolding in Ukraine.

YMCA of the USA’s World Service Campaign is working in coordination with YMCA Ukraine, YMCA Europe and the World YMCA to help people and communities who are impacted by the conflict. While we work with our Y partners to determine what that response will entail, we know that financial support will be urgently needed.
