Through partnership, YMCAs in Canada work with
YMCAs in lesser developed nations to help them achieve our
shared goal of building strong kids, strong families, and strong
communities. With the partnership between the Atlantic
YMCAs and Honduras, there will be 34 Canadian YMCAs partnered
with YMCAs in other countries. These partnerships are
reciprocal relationships, in which both parties benefit
The YMCA ( or ACJ ) of Honduras was
established in 1990. It works in poor neighborhoods in the
capital city, Tegucigalpa, and in the rural communities of
Marcala, La Paz, and Taulabe.
In a country where all too often both the
rights and safety of young people are not secure, the YMCA in
Honduras acts as a champion of youth. Their programs focus
on youth development, gender equality, and citizenship
formation. The YMCA seeks to bring about societal change
in Honduras by helping young people develop social, cultural,
political, and educational skills.
Programs offered by the YMCA in Honduras
include: Leadership development, employment projects, community
health programs including HIV / AIDS education and prevention,
recreation programs, and computer training
