At the 2025 meeting of the Legislative Assembly of Representatives, members voted to adopt YMI FOCUS 2.4 as the official action plan for the 2025/26 year.
Motion 36, presented by Mr Babu George Puthenpurayil and Mr Jens Byskov, was carried unanimously. The decision reflects strong support for the plan’s vision and goals.
YMI FOCUS 2.4 is framed around the theme “Faith, Love, and Action” and serves as a milestone in the fourth year of YMI’s second century. It sets a clear direction for the movement under the unifying slogan “Together Stronger.”
Among its aspirational goals are:
- Establishing 100 new clubs worldwide, including in new countries
- Achieving a 10% increase in global membership and maintaining 1,000 clubs in good standing
- Expanding international project contributions by 20%
- Highlighting the mental well-being of seniors as a signature programme
- Strengthening fellowship, leadership development, and partnerships with the YMCA
- Promoting IC 2026 in Dubai as a true “Festival of Dreams”
Strategic initiatives include leadership training at Area level, international summits, the roll-out of the RBM Project in five countries, and creative fundraising efforts to engage members of all ages.
With YMI FOCUS 2.4, Y’s Men International takes a bold step forward to strengthen its legacy, empower communities, and transform lives.
