YWCA-YMCA of Sweden (Swedish: KFUK-KFUM Sverige) is the Sweden-branch of YMCA and YWCA. It was established in 1966 when YMCA of Sweden and YWCA of Sweden merged.[1]
In 2011 the organization decided to use the term "KFUM" in promotion with "M" standing for "människor" ("people"). Earlier the "m" stood for "män" (men)[2]
YWCA-YMCA of Sweden has 60 000 members. It has 4 000 local associations.[3]
Several Swedish YWCA-YMCA associations have been successful in sports.
