Academy graduates (“Y.O.U.R. Youth Councilors”) demonstrate increased critical thinking and soft skills (e.g. communication, problem-solving, stress management, and more!) and are better equipped to foster positive social change within their respective community, while promoting community-ownership, positivity, and resiliency.
Communities come in all shapes and sizes.
Y.O.U.R. Development™ is a program that best serves those communities who understand that the youth of today are not only the leaders of tomorrow, but they can also be the leaders of today—if given the chance and equipped with the necessary resources!
Y.O.U.R. Development™ works well for:
Cities and neighborhoods
