The National Council of YMCAs of Sri Lanka (NCYSL) is organizing a series of youth trainings under the theme “Be Your Best, Live Your Best” throughout the year 2026, with the aim of equipping YMCA young people with practical skills, and leadership capacity.
A total of 20 youth from YMCA of Pamunugama have registered for this national training programme, making Pamunugama YMCA one of the YMCAs with the highest number of registered youth participants in the country.
The first training, titled LS1, was held on 17th January 2026 at St. Michael’s Church Hall Kollpety. This session focused on Water Safety and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), providing essential life-saving knowledge and practical skills. Six youth from Pamunugama YMCA participated in this training, gaining valuable awareness that can be applied in real-life emergency situations.
The second training, Y Media, was conducted as a series of three online sessions via Zoom on 21st, 28th, and 31st January 2026. This programme focused on basic photography and mobile photography, helping youth understand visual storytelling, framing, lighting, and the effective use of mobile phones for media work. The training was especially relevant for youth involved in documentation, social media, and communication activities within their YMCA and communities. 7 youth from Pamunugama attended this training.
Through these trainings, Pamunugama YMCA youth continue to strengthen their skills, confidence, and sense of responsibility. YMCA of Pamunugama extends gratitude to NCYSL for taking leadership to provide these training opportunities for young people in local YMCAs.
