The Art of Living Foundation - Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES) was introduced to develop creativity, leadership skills and nurture greater inner strength for managing negative emotions, conflict, peer pressure and criticism.

YES! The Youth Empowerment Seminar (ages 14-18)

"The need of the hour demands channeling abundant youth energy in a constructive manner. We need to give this energy the right direction. Generally, the tendency is to just condemn their problems by telling youth to abstain. Instead we need to show them a path and a motive."
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

As youth today face many challenges both inside and outside the classroom, the Youth Empowerment Seminar (YES) was introduced to develop creativity, leadership skills and nurture greater inner strength for managing negative emotions, conflict, peer pressure and criticism.

YES is unique as it is not based on quick-fix solutions, theoretical concepts, or superficial success formulas - rather it teaches practical tools that can be immediately put to use for direct and tangible results.

The techniques and processes taught are easy to learn and practise and make your experience as a student much more enriching and full. The tools and experiences that you will gain are also essential for any future work environment. YES participants report improved focus and concentration, enhanced creativity and efficiency throughout the day.
