COVID-19

Home / COVID-19

The world is experiencing a huge challenge to overcome the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this time of physical separation and social distancing, it is more important than ever to keep our social connections. Y’s Men and Women join our clubs for opportunities to do good in the community and they stay because of the connections they make. Our relationships are important – we need to continually strengthen the ones we have and to build new ones.

What might this look like in our changed world?

Response Overview

YMI has taken a number of actions to protect club members and support communities during the COVID-19 health crisis.

If a member of your club has been required to leave home for work during the pandemic and is engaged in services essential to preserving life, health, public safety and basic societal functioning, clubs are invited to submit their names to the International Headquarters through the provided submission form.

We will acknowledge them personally with a certificate and memento.
