REDEFINING LEADERSHIP IN TODAY’S YOUTH

Our Comprehensive Curriculum

Through a comprehensive curriculum based on the Slight Edge Principles, YEY dives into real issues like identity, self-assurance, resiliency, and taking responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Each 90-minute Zoom class builds on the principles of the last lesson and is designed to be fully participatory and interactive.

Led by Youth for Youth

WHO WE ARE

Through discussions, activities, and sharing circles, participants engage in self-discovery and mutual learning, fostering a collaborative environment. The program aims to create a ripple effect, encouraging empowered youth to mentor and lead others. With both in-person and online delivery, YEY now reaches over 1,000 youth annually worldwide and continues to evolve based on participant feedback to meet the dynamic needs of young leaders.

  • What People Are Saying

    “If I could describe YEY and my experience in a couple of words, it would be family and empowerment. On one hand, YEY provides a community. The facilitators create a safe environment where you can feel comfortable... On the other hand, YEY helps empower you to lift you up and make you feel better. It’s all about growth and learning where you came from.”

    — Emerson, YEY Participant
