Great session! 175 folks discussed YMCA Vision 2030 today. We’re writing our collective future, to be agreed at World Council, July 2022. Imagine: all 12,000 local branches with 1 vision, 1 mission, 4 priority areas: community/wellbeing, good work, sustainable planet, just world!
Our @YMCA_Australia National President @benhubbard says he’s proud of the contemporary and leading practices of the Y in ensuring childen and young people at the Y are safe, but also reminds: ‘We can’t stand still’. #SID2021 #TellSomeone#startthechat
“This project will make a valuable contribution to the Australian Government’s commitment to keeping children and young people safe online by empowering children, young people, and community members to report unsafe online behaviours.” Julie Inman Grant

Key speaker @tayla_harris7
Addressing the online trolling she experienced in 2019 -
‘What on earth could propel someone to act like that?
Then I used my experience to act and raise awareness and hope that it doesn’t happen to someone else’
#SID2021#tellsomeone
Sound advice from @tayla_harris7 about keeping an eye on your friends’ socials, as you will be closest to how comments or posts will be received by them - and be there for them. #SID2021#tellsomeone#startthechat @YMCA_Australia #empathy
End of an era. I hope the next time I hear the song "YMCA", it will be during a meeting which follows the values of our brand: equity, dignity for all, compassion, love and tolerance.
When a survivor speaks up, don’t say, “Why didn’t she leave?”
Say:
We hear you.
We see you.
We believe you.
You are safe here.
