YCNA (Youth Center for North America) fosters opportunities for young people to come together and build community.
Through holistic activities and programs, YCNA helps young adults grow in both human and spiritual dimensions.
Our Vision: A united world where fraternity is lived among all people.
Our Mission: To inspire and encourage young people from diverse backgrounds to work toward and live for a more united world.
YCNA is guided by the spirituality of unity of the Focolare Movement, founded by Chiara Lubich and serves and supports young adults across North America.
We create and plan opportunities for young people to come together and build community through activities and programs that help develop the whole person. YCNA’s core value is respect for each person as expressed in the Golden Rule: “Do to others what you want them to do unto you; don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do unto you”.
YCNA is motivated by the life of Blessed Chiara Luce Badano to live out its mission, to inspire and mobilize young people from all backgrounds to live for a more united world.
