"YOWLA supports the development of mutually beneficial two-way links between communities in the York region and other parts of the world, particularly Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America."

Peter Drury, Chair

Who we are

YOWLA was established as a Registered Charity in December 2003 to help people from in and around York learn about and develop links with others, primarily in developing countries.

What we believe

In an increasingly unstable world, YOWLA members believe that creative links between diverse communities can make a real contribution to international understanding, peaceful co-existence and development.

What we do

YOWLA organises events and activities throughout the year and supports individuals and organisations with advice, contacts and resources. YOWLA helps partner groups to raise their profile, share experiences in training, fundraise, organise and co-host events.
