KFUK-KFUM Global

YGlobal is an ecumenical and diaconal organization for development and solidarity. We are owned by the Norwegian YWCA-YMCA and the YWCA-YMCA Guides and Scouts of Norway, and work in partnership with our sister organizations in the World Alliance of YMCAs, World YWCA, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). We believe that all human beings are created in God’s image with inviolable human dignity. Our global movement mobilizes people to act together to safeguard human dignity and promote global justice. We are inspired by the words of Jesus: “Blessed are the Peacemakers”. We believe that peace without global justice is impossible. We believe that human made structures can be changed by a global movement of humans. We have faith that our potential power as a global inter-religious movement is strong enough to change any man-made structure that puts profit before people. Our vision together building global justice and peace emphasizes our belief that if we work together, we can create a better world for everyone. YGlobal wants our core values to guide our work. These are: justice, love, courage, openness and creativity. We want to encourage the YWCA-YMCA movement in Norway to participate internationally and, together with the YMCA and YWCAs in other countries, we want to struggle with all means for human rights and equal opportunities for all. We can use any tool for transformation that is not incompatible
