Last Updated (Wednesday, 26 April 2023 16:08)

As part of our continued commitment to strengthen Green Movement towards a carbon neutral YMCA by 2030, we invite you to select young staff, volunteers and leaders from your YMCAs; YMCA executive staff; and other like-minded group related to YMCA work on Climate Change and Environment to participate in our Green Ambassadors Training which will be held on 22-27 May 2023 in Chiangmai , Thailand. 

The training is one of the intervention programs of the Asia and Pacific Alliance of YMCAs in its continued efforts to combat climate change. The training generally aims to educate YMCA staff, leaders, volunteers and youth about climate change and its impact to people and communities. It is also designed to create a platform to reflect on personal and organizational practices that could bring about behavioural changes and interest in advocacy for eco-justice. The training is specifically keen to engage participants in dialogue on enhancing ‘Green Ambassadors’ capacity for environment and climate change action to secure net zero by 2030 to keep global temperature of 1.5 degrees Celsius within reach. It will also look into potential ways to contribute in rebuilding resilient societies with nature-based solutions. 

The participation fee is USD250; and registration fee which includes Green Fee is USD50USD. Registration deadline is 15 May 2023. The submission of the online registration form indicates prior arrangement/approval from the respective National/territorial Council of YMCAs.
