Citi-YMCA Youth For Causes 2019: Causes you can support
Over the past 17 years, the Citi-YMCA Youth For Causes Programme has had the privilege of empowering youths to benefit over 160 Social Service Organizations (SSO).
What is a Social Service Organization?
According to the National Council of Social Services, a social service organization is defined as a non-profit organisation that provides services to benefit the community. Although there is no legal definition of a social service organisation, social service organisations are typically registered as charities and are primarily set up to meet social service needs
