Home > Speaker > October 2017: Strengthening Communities through Global Engagement

Our guest speaker this month is Nico Gourdet. Nico has worked with YMCA of the USA for the past 12 years. As Director of Global Leadership he works with Ys around the country to connect them to international YMCAs and help prepare them for changing community demographics.

The YMCA’s cause is to strengthen communities through promoting healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility among members, program participants, staff, and volunteers. As community demographics change, learn how the Y works to ensure access for all through the advancement of diversity, inclusion, and global engagement.
