Across Denmark, more than 100 local YMCA and YWCA associations create opportunities for children, young people, and families to connect, learn, and grow. Through a variety of engaging activities, creative experiences, and meaningful traditions, these communities provide spaces where friendships are formed, skills are developed, and memories are made.
The Committee of Local Activities works to create and support vibrant communities where children and young people can gather, grow, and engage in meaningful activities. A key focus is on music and shared experiences, which play a central role in bringing people together.
