YMCA Malta
Affiliated with YMCA Europe and World Alliance of YMCAs, YMCA Malta was founded in 1976 and is an NGO, non-profit, voluntary and ecumenical movement seeking to promote the vision of building a just society while working mainly with homelessness and youth.
The YMCA in Malta forms part of an international movement which is present in 120 countries.
YMCA Malta is a non-profit voluntary organisation seeking to promote the vision to build a more just society. Its mission includes working amongst and empowering young people and providing services to the most needy members of the community. YMCA Malta's objectives and goals are to perform mainly as a Social Work services agency, a Youth Work agency and a Housing Association.
YMCA Malta reaches its mission through four pillars, these being Residential Services, Youth Empowerment, Wellbeing and Social Business. Keeping these in mind, it aims to:
- Support the positive development of youths as a preventive measure, and intervene by offering a spectrum of social work services to underprivileged or socially disadvantaged individuals. The specialisation in this regard is the support, assistance and reintegration of the homeless in Malta.
- Promote a programme of activities designed to foster young and older people's spiritual, intellectual, social and physical well-being.
- Seek to help all people, irrespective of their mental and physical abilities, without discrimination to sex, religion, nationality, race or political affiliation.
- Seek to develop and strengthen links and recognition from the state and church authorities and other private, public, and corporate entities in Malta.
- Take an active part in cultural, environmental, artistic, musical, audio-visual and other activities.
- Perform mainly as a Social Work Services Agency, a Youth Work Agency, a Housing Association and any other role as may be decided at our Annual General Meeting

YMCA Malta was also a Changemakers semi-finalist where they pitched their initiative Antik.
As an island, Malta’s environmental impact is of particular concern and this is why YMCA Malta wants to create an online shop, ANTIK, in order to recirculate inactive clothes, furniture and other items. This enterprise would allow people to market their inactive clothes and other items to the populations living in Malta and would also be of benefit to the marginalised, economically challenged or impoverished people.

Capacity building
Team Building for YMCA Residential Department
YMCA Malta are looking to support their dedicated residential staff - which is a team of 12-15 people - with a fun team building activity, helping them to spend time together outside the work setting.
The residential team oversees over 50 residents in three residential facilities at any given time. Due to having interns and different staff on different shifts, it is very rare to have the whole team together, which is why YMCA are seeking such an activity.
They are open to an activity of any duration, preferably in September or October.
Please contact Nicola Falzon directly.
