A journey of self-discovery
The YES Programme walks alongside young people — from the ages of 11 through to early adulthood — as they discover who they are and who they want to become.
Think of your life like a building: the higher you want to reach, the stronger your foundations need to be. Guided by a personal Tour Guide, each young person builds those foundations one milestone at a time.
