Youth Empowerment Seminar

The Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES) is an annual, global event bringing together hundreds of YFU exchange students and volunteers for an intensive learning experience. At the YES, we strive for motivating active, global citizens through transformative learning and international friendship. The YES is a unique opportunity to reunite with old friends from all over the world and make new ones, creating a bridge between the exchange year and the return home. It’s a fun learning experience where students explore what it means to be a citizen of the world through interactive learning in a non-formal education setting. The international team of volunteers creates a unique spirit and an unforgettable experience for everyone at the YES.
