Welcome!

Young people need competent companions on their walk of faith assisting them in their ability to develop meaningful lives expressed in individual responsibility.

This competence demands a sound education.

The YMCA-University Kassel equips students through a qualified science supported and at the same time application oriented sound training for professional youth work and other fields of social operation at YMCA, church and society.

Very unique is the alliance of christian faith, scientifical method, practical relevance, internationality and the integration of these three disciplines: theology, human and social science, as well as management.

This is our contribution to meet todays increasing global challenges.

Because we are convinced that christian faith can motivate and enable people for a commitment for peace and social justice.
