About GMC
In Autumn 2022, inspired by the success of the 70th Anniversary celebration team (ACT), YFU Global Office kicked off the process of gathering volunteers interested in media to form a global media team.
Our mission is trifold:
1. Promote YFU's educational and professional impact
2. Engage with the Global YFU network
3. Promote YFU’s role and impact in the civil society
We are currently looking for new volunteers to join the Team!
