Company Profile

The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) movement was started in 1844 in London by Mr George Williams and a group of likeminded concerned Christians. It is one of the oldest and largest Movements for youth in the world and now operates in 119 countries, and reaching 58 million people. The YMCA works to bring social justice and peace to young people and their communities, regardless of religion, race, gender or culture.

Established in 1902, the YMCA of Singapore is a volunteer-based Christian organisation that seeks to serve and impact all members of the community, regardless of race, language or religion, through programmes, services and enterprises to develop the body, mind and spirit.

As a registered charity, YMCA of Singapore champions, challenges, and trains youth with special needs, youth-at-risk, youth volunteers, and leaders to become independent and effective contributors to society through social development, gainful employment, volunteerism, and leadership. YMCA is sustained primarily through social enterprises, including YMCA Education Services and YMCA @ One Orchard, whose surpluses fund its charitable programs.

In 2022, YMCA won the Charity Transparency Award (CTA). The Charity Transparency Awards, organised by the Charity Council, recognises charities of good disclosure practices that the Charity Transparency Framework (CTF) recommends.
