In 1958 with the help of the USA YMCA and under the auspices of the New Zealand Embassy, the YMCA Foreign Community Supporting Committee (FCSC) was established to raise funds and support for the YMCA, and promote understanding between the international community and Japan.

Composed of ambassadors serving as honorary chairmen and a regular committee of prominent members of the international business community, this volunteer committee continues to support YMCA youth programs by raising millions of yen each year.

The YMCA Foreign Community Supporting Committee is a group of ambassadors and international business, community and social leaders who desire to contribute to Japanese society
