Everyone is welcome
YMCA-YWCA Denmark is an ecumenical organization rooted in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark. However, you don’t have to be a Christian to attend our programs and activities.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of religious beliefs, nationality, race, gender, or social position.
In many countries YMCA and YWCA are two separate organizations, but in Denmark they merged into a joint movement in 1976. The movement is governed by a female and a male presidency and a board with equal representation of men and women.
Many YMCA and YWCA activities in Denmark have since the early days been organized in separate organizations and still remain so – as YMCA Sports, YMCA Scouts, YWCA Girl Guides, YWCA Social Work, YMCA Social Work etc.
In total 8 independent organizations belong to the "Y-family" including Y’s Men Region Denmark.
