Y Care International is a youth-driven organisation that exists for vulnerable young people to help them free themselves from poverty and unleash their skills, capability and resilience.
Our focus is creating opportunities through enterprise and employability for young women and men aged 15-24 made vulnerable by inequality and injustice. We provide support for practical, inclusive and local action mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and a limited number of other countries.
We use our international and local connections and influence to work with partner YMCAs and other youth serving organisations. Working with others we:
- Ø Assess needs and design programmes with and for young people
- Ø Build capacity that strengthens and enables local organisations to support young people
- Ø Communicate & promote youth learning and participation for influence
- Ø Deliver innovation through collaboration and investment
- Ø Educate and facilitating global development through young people
We are part of the YMCA Movement, the leading global movement for youth empowerment, as the relief and development agency of the Y Movement in UK and Ireland. More information can be found at www.ycareinternational.org
