The Gambia YMCA is a Christian Charitable Association. At its centre are Christians who, regard Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, desire to share their faith with others. We welcome into our fellowship persons of other religious faith and those of no particular religious conviction on the world-wide fellowship of the equal value of all persons. Our programs are based on respect and freedom for all, tolerance and understanding between different opinions and are open to everyone regardless of race, sex or creed.
