Jillian and Christy are busy getting ready for thier trip to Ukraine in less than three weeks! In case you haven't heard, they have been chosen to represent YMCA Calgary at this year's YMCA Ukraine Western Regional Camp (the same camp I attended last year) and will be gone from June 27-July 18.
Jillian Coulas is the NW Calgary YMAP Coordinator, and she is based out of Crowfoot YMCA. She will brings tremendous youth leadership and cross cultural skills to this experience. Her background in Rehabilitation, Family Support, and Disability Services is great preparation for the challenges of international travel.
Christy Daniels is the Community Outreach Manager and soon to be interim General Manager of Community YMCA. It will be her third trip to Ukraine; the last time she was there, she stayed for 3 months and visited almost a dozen YMCA associations across the country. This trip will be shorter, but she will have many friends to reconnect with while she is there.
This blog is for YMCA Calgary youth delegates to share their experiences as they visit our partners at YMCA Ukraine. International YMCA partnerships allow us to build global awareness through real relationships. We share knowledge and resources while we learn from each other. Young leaders develop skills and confidence to advance peace, social justice and dignity in their own community.
