Mission Statement

The YMCA of Hong Kong, with its long history and depth of experience in providing services that cater to the social, educational, physical and spiritual needs of the people in our community, looks to the future with confidence and commitment. It will faithfully endeavour to fulfil its mission as a Christian association dedicated to the furtherance of equality, justice and peace in our society through the provision of life enriching activities to all persons in our community who desire to participate.

As an organization founded to be an integral part of the Hong Kong community, the YMCA will express its mission by adopting an integrated, indigenous approach to identify with the hopes and aspirations of the people of Hong Kong and work to serve the unique needs of a multilingual and multicultural community especially those of the young people.

In so identifying our vision of service and further defining our target publics, our YMCA desires to actively continue to make a positive contribution to the social tapestry, harmony and international understanding within a great city. Moreover, in its role as an “International YMCA”, it will further strengthen its network with the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, the YWCA of Hong Kong and other local social service agencies to ensure that all persons in our community regardless of age, gender, race, religious conviction, or ethnic background are being provided service, and otherwise afforded opportunities, to improve the quality of life for themselves, their families and the community at large.
