Established in 1878, operated by YMCA of the USA since
1920, the Jerusalem International
YMCA (JIY) is a safe haven for religious, cultural and intellectual freedom
for the people of Jerusalem. Jewish, Muslim and Christians of all ages come to
JIY to enjoy the atmosphere of understanding and unity.
Like YMCAs in
the United States, JIY serves the needs of its local community through programs
focused on the holistic development of children and youth, health and well-being
for all and family strengthening. In an effort to end the cycle of prejudice and
violence, JIY offers a variety of programs designed to stimulate positive
connections among people of all faiths and backgrounds. From the integrated
Peace Preschool to coexistence programs for young adults, JIY is helping to
impact a generation of future leaders who will have the tools to advocate for
and secure peace in the region.
