Peter Posner has been involved in the YMCA, the world's oldest youth organisation for more than 30 years - he's the organisation's world president. Its initials stand for the Young Men's Christian Association, but does that name reflect what the YMCA does in its modern incarnation? Posner has been travelling around YMCAs in New Zealand and talks about the evolution of the organisation and the issues facing the youth of today.
