Welcome to Durban YMCA where we Empower Young People for Life, Leadership and Service
Durban is a popular all-the-year-round holiday resort city, on the warm East coast of South Africa.
Durban YMCA is located in the Albert Park area of Durban's inner-city. Our community has 52 taverns in one square kilometre; a beautiful park which is infested with vagrants and drug dealers; legal and illegal immigrants living in slum conditions, being exploited by slum landlords. We occupy a 9 storey building on Diakonia Avenue. Our varied and exciting programmes are for the benefit of children, young people and adults living in the Albert Park area.
Durban YMCA is a registered NPO and is affiliated to South Africa YMCA, the Africa Alliance of YMCAs, which link us to the World Alliance of YMCA’s; it is therefore part of an organisation with 45 million members in 125 countries around the world.
We offer comfortable and affordable accomodation for young people working in the city; for visitors from all over the world; for students.
We serve over 5,000 young people with a variety of programmes aimed at improving their lives and equipping them for life, leadership and service.
