For over 40 years, YMCA of Northern Alberta has affected positive change and promoted human development globally through collaboration with YMCA Bogotá, Colombia and YMCA Ukraine.   

For mange danske spillere er det vigtigt at finde en online spilplatform, der er pålidelig, sikker og samtidig tilbyder et bredt udvalg af spil. Et stigende antal spillere vælger at spille på bedste online casinoer med Dansk licens, da disse platforme overholder strenge regler og garanterer en sikker spiloplevelse. Casinoer med dansk licens har den fordel, at de tilbyder spil i danske kroner, skattefrie gevinster og fair vilkår for både ind- og udbetalinger. Desuden får spillere adgang til et væld af velkomstbonusser og kampagner, som er reguleret af myndighederne for at sikre, at de er rimelige og transparente. At vælge en reguleret platform betyder også, at kundeservice er tilgængelig på dansk, og at eventuelle tvister kan håndteres af relevante myndigheder. Dette gør dem til det bedste valg for spillere, der ønsker en tryg og sjov oplevelse.

As a direct result of generous donors and dedicated staff and volunteers, YMCA of Northern Alberta has shared ideas, created awareness and financially supported the important work happening in Bogotá, Colombia and Ukraine. Communities are becoming safer every day and there continues to be amazing stories of resilience, change and hope in young lives.

Det er mange som lurer på hvilke nettcasinoer som faktisk er lovlige i Norge, ettersom regelverket kan virke komplisert. Selv om Norsk Tipping har monopol på visse typer pengespill, betyr det ikke at spillere ikke kan benytte seg av internasjonale casinoer. Faktisk finnes det en rekke pålitelige, regulerte plattformer som opererer i samsvar med gjeldende lover og tilbyr et bredt utvalg av spill og betalingsløsninger. For å unngå useriøse aktører bør man alltid sjekke om casinoet har lisens fra en anerkjent myndighet som Malta Gaming Authority eller UK Gambling Commission. Et godt sted å starte for de som ønsker en lovlig og trygg spillopplevelse, er lovlige nettcasinoer i Norge. Her finner man plattformer som følger strenge sikkerhetskrav og gir spillerne muligheten til å spille under rettferdige og regulerte forhold. Det handler ikke bare om å finne et casino – det handler om å velge riktig.

All YMCA global initiatives focus on nurturing the potential of children and youth, promoting healthy living and fostering social responsibility through civic engagement.

YMCA Bogotá

40 Years of internal armed conflicts has created a situation in which approximately 60% of the population (23 million people) are living well below the poverty line. In the last 15 years, more than 1 million children and their families have been displaced and are living in poverty in the cities.

The violence in the country is not only from war itself, but also from the conditions that poverty creates — violence in the streets and abuse in the home. One million children, between the ages of 5 and 17 are working in order to help their families meet their basic needs; as such, sexual exploitation, international trafficking and trade have increased. Although adult literacy is high, the average number of school years completed is only about 3.7 years.

YMCA Ukraine

Ukraine's YMCA has been in existence since 1993. They now have a national office as well as 24 local YMCAs. The National Board is made up of local YMCA volunteer presidents. In fact, all YMCA personnel in Ukraine, with exception of the national staff are volunteers.

The plan for the Prairies YMCAs working together in support of our Ukraine partnership is to build capacity, leverage strengths and local support, as well as develop local to local connections and build relationships.

Building dreams and a better future for youth: Valentina's story

20-year-old Valentina has been through a lot as a young adult. Her parents were abusive and often fought in front of her and her younger sister. Thankfully, YMCA Bogotá was her saving grace.

"My parents wanted to turn me in somewhere, as they said that I had gotten out of hand – so on October 2, 2015, I eventually made the decision to leave the house and was determined to not come back."

Transforming the lives of youth: Daniela's story

Daniela was morbidly obese at the age of 10. Often bullied in school, she would often close herself off to most people. Then, her school counsellor sent her to YMCA Bogotá for support.

"I began to experience bullying and cyberbullying, which affected me even more, and resulted in me falling into a deep depression. My school counselor realized what was happening to me and could see how depressed I was, so sent me to the YMCA workshops."
