Program

Youth Empowering Youth (YEY) is a free leadership program for teens aged 13-18.

YEY is a nine-session accelerated program run by two trained Facilitators who are passionate about empowering youth. The online version of the program is designed to be offered in 90-minute sessions over Zoom and in a class setting that encourages student participation. Each class shares a new principle which builds upon the previous principle; ultimately helping students take accountability for their thoughts, feelings and actions; thus, moving them into a place of confidence, security and self-assurance.

YEY curriculum is a derivative from the Slight Edge Principles. The principles shared during this nine-session program are as follows:

  • Session 1: Saturday October 17 2020- The Ripple Effect
  • Session 2: Saturday October 24 2020 - Attitude Creates Your Life

  • Session 8: Saturday December 5 2020 - Momentum is Your Responsibility

Upon graduation of this program, youth have the opportunity to apply to become a facilitator for future programs to help empower more youth.
