Welcome to this first edition of YMI World for the 2024/25 year.
As we embark on a new term, this issue highlights recent key moments, including the memorable 2024 Y’s Men International Convention in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We celebrate the achievements of the past 12 months, such as the opening of the new International Headquarters in Geneva, while looking ahead to exciting initiatives like “Mission 100” and ongoing global partnerships with the YMCA. This edition also emphasises the importance of youth engagement, community service, and the “Arise and Shine” theme under International President, Mr A. Shanavaskhan.
