Helsinki YMCA is known for its pioneering youth work. Helsinki YMCA has been launching significant forms of work throughout its history.

THE HISTORY OF THE YMCA
The YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) movement originated in London in 1844. The founder of the movement was George Williams, who was concerned about the growth and development of the young people of his time and the recreational activity opportunities. Today, about 58 million people in 11,220 local associations in more than 130 countries participate in YMCA activities.
The World Federation of the YMCA was established in Paris in 1855, when the Paris Basis defined the mission of the YMCA. These principles of action have been made clearer at the World Assembly of Kampala in 1973 (the so-called Kampala principles).
The YMCA came to Finland in 1886 and today there are around 40 associations across Finland. In Helsinki, YMCA activity began in 1889, when Helsinki YMCA was founded.
