CA-3-S064400PRG 2026-08-09T06:32:35 This program aims to improve the health, safety and financial security of developing-country youth, particularly young women, and to prevent the marginalization of children and youth by facilitating their participation in civil society. It also creates opportunities for Canadians, particularly YMCA members, to learn about, participate in, and support international development activities. The program has three integrated components: (1) overseas development projects; (2) Canadian public engagement; and (3) youth exchanges focused on skills development and international knowledge-sharing.
