YMCA of the USA. International Division.

Hide Profile

From the 1880s on, the YMCAs of the United States and Canada helped YMCAs in Europe in a variety of ways, with the majority of the work coming as a response to World War I. The region of Austria, Hungary and Switzerland was not the scene of extensive or prolonged assistance. However, as an aftermath of World War I, through funds provided from the Student Friendship Fund, the International Committee, under the direction of John R. Mott, purchased a building in Vienna. This building was held by the Vienna YMCA under a trust agreement with the International Committee of the YMCA until 1930.
