The YMCA Celebrates 180 Years of Empowering Youth & Communities

Published

on

Worldwide the YMCA reaches 60 million people across 6 continents each year

Geneva, Switzerland, 10th Jun 2024, King NewsWire – The worldwide YMCA Movement marks its 180th anniversary on June 6. Its global, national, and local initiatives empower young people and communities to continue to build a ‘just, sustainable, equitable, and inclusive world’ for all.

YMCA was established in 1844: it is the oldest and one of the largest youth organizations in the world. From providing young men with a safe space in industrial London to developing young people in ‘body, mind and spirit’, and supporting communities ‘cradle to grave’ including migrants and refugees, it has grown massively.

“What started with 12 young men in London in 1844 has grown to encompass 12,000 communities worldwide – in 120 countries – in June 2024”, said World YMCA President Soheila Hayek. “The Young Men’s Christian Association is proud to serve young and old, men and women and boys and girls, Christians and those of any and no faith.”

YMCA has always been a pioneer. It invented basketball and volleyball, for instance. This is in addition to teaching English as a second language, running migrant reception programs, establishing gyms and swimming pools, and places of education and housing for all ages. YMCA won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1946 for supporting soldiers, prisoners, and families in two World Wars.

“We remain pioneers”, says World YMCA Secretary General Carlos Sanvee. “We believe in youth-led solutions and work with our global and local partners to make those solutions fly. Prompted by COVID, we also believe that we must continue to reach out to communities, and not expect them to come to us.”

2024 has seen the YMCA partner with five other global youth organizations. The YMCA has also partnered with the EU and the UN in a Euro 10 million program to facilitate young people’s initiatives in meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The first round of the program, the Global Youth Mobilization, supported youth-led solutions to the COVID crisis which reached some 3.6 million people.

In addition, this year, the YMCA conducted global research on young people’s hopes and fears about the world of work. This research will lead to worldwide advocacy and national programs to underline the YMCA’s role as one of the biggest employers of young people worldwide.

“Young people’s needs – their mental health, their jobs, and the needs of the societies in which they live – have never been greater”, says Carlos Sanvee. “And nor has their potential. We continue to empower young people to be and to lead the change they want to see.”

About the Worldwide YMCA Movement 

YMCA is active in 12,000 communities in 120 countries, employing some 90,000 staff and mobilizing some 920,000 volunteers. It reaches over 60 million people a year. Working collectively under its shared YMCA Vision 2030, it impacts lives through programs and advocacy in four priority areas: Community Wellbeing, Meaningful Work, Sustainable Planet, and Just World.

The Rise of Funded Trading Accounts: How Supertrade is Leading the Shift Away from Retail Trading Models

Published

on

Structural changes in the global trading landscape. As retail traders find it increasingly difficult to participate in the world of trading, the world of trading is undergoing a structural shift. Leading the charge is Supertrade – the next-generation prop trading platform that provides a profitable, sustainable solution away from ‘traditional’ retail models.

The retail trader has for years struggled with limited capital and extreme market volatility, not to mention a stark absence of institutional support. Traditional brokers offer not much more than plain execution, and that is simply not enough protection and support for individuals. It’s a landscape that has made growth consistent with the accounts hard, and survival even harder. 

Now, a better solution has emerged. Funded trading accounts are rapidly gaining traction, and Supertrade trading is leading this new wave with a comprehensive and accessible approach to professional trading.

While the retail scheme has traders funding their own accounts and accepting full risk responsibility, prop trading turns the equation on its head. They provide access to significant trading capital and offer exclusive risk management rules to traders (unlike retail trading accounts). This allows traders to only focus on their execution and performance.

The Supertrade platform offers two core funding routes, catering to different levels of experience and readiness

  • Instant Funding: For traders ready to begin immediately, with access to up to $100,000 in real capital without evaluation.
  • 2-Phase Challenge: A structured path to prove consistency and earn even larger allocations. 

Upon funding, traders benefit from:

  • Up to $100K in starting capital.
  • Profit splits of up to 80%.
  • Leverage up to 1:100 on Forex, 1:50 on indices, metals, and oil, 1:2 on crypto.
  • Clearly defined drawdown rules: 5% daily, 10% total.
  • Access to a wide range of markets, including Forex, crypto, oil, indices, etc. 
  • Transparent Supertrade pricing – with no hidden charges or maintenance fees.

Supertrade is, at heart, more than just a prop firm – it’s an all-inclusive ecosystem designed from the ground up by traders, for traders. The exclusive Supertrade terminal platform is built for accuracy with live pricing, ultra-rapid execution, and unlimited control. 

Beyond the tech stack, traders are supported with:

  • The Supertrade Academy – A dedicated learning hub with courses on risk, strategy, and challenge preparation.
  • An in-depth analytics centre and regularly updated blog, with insights from top-performing prop trading professionals.
  • 24/7 live support – Genuine assistance available at all times.

In addition, traders can benefit from Supertrade’s official page on TradingView, where in-house experts publish fresh trading ideas daily. Each post features detailed market analysis, annotated chart screenshots, and clearly defined trade setups across the most popular assets like Gold (XAUUSD), Bitcoin (BTCUSD), EUR/USD, and more. For example, traders can find real-time insights on potential breakout points, key support and resistance levels, and trend continuation scenarios. 

This structure ensures that both new and experienced traders are fully equipped not just to trade, but to grow.
