In accordance with Paris Basis, the Togo YMCA mission is:  
•    To put into practice principles and values of Christian Faith, mobilising human and material resources, and being voice for voiceless, in order to build a society of peace and social justice.
•    To work for improvement of quality life through various participatory programmes allowing all to feed themselves, to treat themselves and to educate themselves in a clean and abundant environment.
•    To promote among members of civil society a culture of leadership and excellence based on shared values.

The Togo YMCA was established in 1903 under the Bremen Mission. The YMCA was considered to be a gathering of the Togo Evangelical Presbyterian Church until 1982, when it made many strides in reaching out to communities around the country and then regained its autonomy in 1992. It was confirmed as member of the world Alliance on 24 August 1991, and duly registered as a civil society organisation / association in 1994.

Togo YMCA used to be one of the strongest in Africa until 2004. Due to internal conflict which was related to the political unrest in the 1990s, the movement lost most of its human resources and the biggest community development programme in 2004. Presently the movement is recovering from the effect of the crisis. We have 21 local Unions coordinated within four Regional Unions around the country. In order to build better YMCA, the movement has been recently selected by the World Alliance of YMCAs to go through the Global Operation Plan (GOP) for movement strengthening. The Opening workshop for Togo GOP took lace in Bagbe in June 2008.
