22.01.2022 At the Y we believe in the power of inspired young people. For young people to be inspired they must feel safe and be safe. With Covid-19 increasing the amount ...of time children and young people are spending online, we know they are at increased risk of harm both directly and indirectly. That is why we have developed this resource to help children and young people to stay safe online. By empowering children and young people to know about the online risks, we can support them in staying safe. Please share with parents, teachers and young people themselves.

14.01.2022 YMCA backs young people ahead of the Global Climate Strike. This week on Friday 20 September, thousands of Australians across over 100 locations will take part in a global strike to demand stronger action on climate change. Many young people will be leading this action, with hundreds of countries to be part of some of the biggest environmental protests in history.... The Y stands for empowering young people and believes in their right to be heard on issues that affect them. The science is clear, and concerned young people are mobilising to send a message to government, business and the community about the need for immediate climate action. Leading science including work by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows we have 12 years to try and limit a climate change catastrophe. Another UN report from IPBES shows that over a million species currently face extinction. These are major concerns for young people. This very real ecological, economic and humanitarian crisis affects us all. We support young people being heard at the Global Climate Strike. We know that action speaks louder than words. We support young people who choose to attend the rally. When young people are inspired, they are powerful.The YMCAs in Australia are also supporting Climate Change Forums in conjunction with the United Nations’ first Youth Climate Summit, being held in New York on Saturday 21 September with 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg opening the summit. This historic event will be live streamed at 12am AEST Sunday 22 September. https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/youth-summit.shtml At the Y we believe young people always have and always will change the world for the better.

11.01.2022 REMINDER DAYLIGHT SAVING BEGINS! Don’t forget daylight saving begins on Sunday. Clocks go FORWARD one hour. No extra sleep in this time!

09.01.2022 YMCA history of the Red Poppy - 101 years ago, Moina Michael, who worked for the American YMCA, read Lieutenant Colonel McCrae's poem just before the Armstice, ...and was so moved by it that she wrote a poem in reply and decided to wear a red poppy. At a meeting of YMCA secretaries, held in November 1918, she talked about the poem and her poppies, and Anna Guérin, the French YMCA secretary, started selling poppies to raise money for widows, orphans, and needy veterans and their families. We Shall Keep the Faith by Moina Michael, November 1918 Moina Michael Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields, Sleep sweet - to rise anew! We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the Faith With All who died. We cherish, too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a lustre to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders Fields. And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honor of our dead. Fear not that ye have died for naught; We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fields. #LestWeForget

04.01.2022 At a time when the whole world is facing a crisis, today we are pausing to remember all those who have served, and are currently serving, in our armed forces. T...he YMCA was proud to play a small but important role supporting our ANZAC men and women during WW1, providing our diggers recreation opportunities, postal services, and home comforts. Our social centres were initially setup in military camps in Australia, before being stationed at every camp in every country where our troops served. We were privileged to bring them arts and crafts, games, sports, film screenings, and everything in between. Serving those who serve is a great honour, and it is important we remember the great sacrifice they made. Please take a moment today to reflect and pay tribute to the extraordinary people who risked everything to give us everything. Lest we forget. #lestweforget [Pictured: black and white photos from WW1 with YMCA banners signifying a place for respite for the troops]
