About
With a presence in Québec since 1851, the YMCA aims to inspire and encourage everyone to reach their full potential, thrive and contribute to their community.
By supporting the YMCA Peace Medals, you are concretely contributing to the deployment of our youth programs and to maintaining our impact in communities in Montréal, Québec, and beyond.
Your generosity supports a range of key programs, programs that, given the current context, are more important than ever—young people need resources to help them succeed in school and to rely on for their emotional well-being. They need places to go where they can socialize and build strong relationships.
In other words, you are providing youth and families in your community with the opportunity to thrive, fulfill their potential, and, in turn, contribute to building a better world.
Our School Success sector focuses on supporting youth academically through a variety of programs, all made possible by your donations.
Our TeenZones provide teens with a safe, inclusive place where they can meet up, chat, have fun, and learn, after school or in their free time.
The TeenZone programming is rich and diverse: an enthusiastic intervention and facilitation team leads sports (basketball, soccer, hip-hop dance), artistic, and cultural activities, free games, leadership workshops, and a lot more.
The TeenZone team is made up of trusted adults who teens can turn to. Our youth workers are there to listen and help them overcome academic, family, and personal problems.
