What is Y.O.U.R. Development™?
Y.O.U.R. (Youth Organizing and Uniting to Re-Power) Development™
is a learn-by-doing leadership academy designed to re-ignite
young people to improve the quality of life within their community and among their peers.
The program brings youth together in a safe, supportive environment where they can bond and collaboratively address the challenges within their community.
THE SITUATION
In today's digital age, smartphones and social media connect young people to the world like never before. However, this connectivity often does not extend to their immediate communities, leaving many youth feeling isolated and unheard.
Young people need to feel seen, heard, and valued now more than ever.
They are not just future leaders; they are today's changemakers.
At a time when a wider supportive environment is crucial, Y.O.U.R. Development™ bridges this gap by nurturing youth leadership through community engagement.
Demand Driven. Youth Designed. Youth Led.
Practical, Hands-On Training
Y.O.U.R. Development™ helps students connect, ideate, and develop solutions to community challenges.
Throughout the program, students engage in a variety of learn-by-doing activities, including:
Conduct Community Research: To understand community needs and interpret data to inform design of solutions and interventions.
Design and Implement Programs: Create detailed plans including key program performance indicators.
Role-Play: Gain skills in ACE awareness, trauma-informed care, and psychological first aid.
Collaborate for Sustainable Change: Connect with local leaders to secure the necessary resources for the youth-designed programs.
Through Y.O.U.R. Development™, we are not just preparing young leaders for tomorrow but enabling them to make a difference today.
