The YMCA of Makati joined the Earth Hour to Earth Day Campaign launched by the Asia and Pacific Alliance of YMCA’s (APAY) through different Climate Advocacy Activities led by the youth which happened between March 23 to April 22, 2023. 

These activities started with a series of Climate Change Education talks from the Makati Y’s Green Ambassadors, Ms. Magda Gana, Ms. Alyssa Alita and Mr. Reagan Melendez who gave a talk on Climate Change, Water Footprint and Carbon Footprint on March 22 among the youth and scholars of Makati YMCA. 

Some of the youth also participated by practicing different environment conscious lifestyle like using reusable water container, bike to school etc. and posted it in social media using the official hashtag #EarthHour2EarthDay. 

The Campaign culminated through a Clean-Up Drive activity around the Makati YMCA Community in San Antonio, where students, teachers and parents from the Red Triangle Club (RTC), Hi-Y Clubs, cholars and volunteers from Ys Men Makati Golden were present. 

To wrap up the day Ms. Melody Quintanilla, one of the team leaders of Makati YMCA's Youth-led solutions Project, KalaKalikasan, gave an interesting talk on Earth Day and encouraged the youth to become stewards of God’s creation.
