YES! - Youth Empowerment Seminar
[Ages 14-18] Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES!):
Ages 14 - 18

the art of making friends // the secret of popularity
personal responsibility // the value of service

Both fun and challenging, this 18 hour seminar provides teens with a comprehensive toolbox to both manage their own emotions and stress as well as dynamically navigate through adolescence.

In the Art of Living's YES! Summer Intensive, teens between the ages of 14 and 17 get the opportunity to spend 10 days in a stress-free environment in which to participate in the Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES!), one aspect of the Art of Living’s multi-pronged approach to effectively eliminate stress, violence, aggression, and lack of academic interest in today’s youth. In combination with summer camp activities (music, hiking, arts and crafts, etc), youth learn powerful tools to calm their minds, channel their energy, and become inspired to take responsibility for themselves and their community. These stress-management tools include powerful breathing techniques, yoga, and a unique rhythmic breathing program, Sudarshan Kriya™, cognized by the Art of Living’s Founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Youth Leadership Training Program (YLTP)

Ages 18 +
YLTP Application

Join youth from around the world in a fun and challenging opportunity for personal growth and service.

Youth Leadership Training Program, or YLTP, is an intensive residential program which gives you an immersion in stress and trauma relief techniques of breathing, meditation and yoga and prepares you to teach those techniques back to the community. A focus on leadership, teamwork and communication skills creates a solidly bonded team of volunteers with an emphasis on service that gives back to communities in need.
You Can Make a Real Difference
YLTP's focus is on providing stress and trauma relief, and returning peace of mind to those who have had their lives radically disrupted by disaster situations such as Hurricane Katrina. Participants are prepared to teach a free trauma and stress relief course, and organize and implement community development projects.
Discover your Potential
YLTP expands your ability to live a happy, fulfilling and useful life. It breaks the boundaries of what you thought you were capable of, increasing your personal power, energy and focus, as well as leadership, teamwork and communication skills.
It challenges you to learn and embody the Art of Living, discover your potential and be the change you wish to see. Tapping your inner wisdom, you become a model of inner strength, joy and caring for the world. All this is nurtured by a deep connection with a loving and accepting team who dedicate themselves to the challenging and ultimately fulfilling work of personal growth and service.
