**Empowering the Next Generation of Changemakers**

Engaged Generation: YES is an inspiring bootcamp designed to transform children into confident community leaders. Through a dynamic blend of interactive workshops, storytelling and team projects, participants explore the fundamentals of civic engagement and social entrepreneurship. Children are challenged to identify real-world problems, think critically about their causes and design creative, sustainable solutions.

What sets YES apart is our peer-learning model: mentored university students facilitate the sessions, creating a relatable and high-energy environment. This unique approach builds leadership in our mentors while fostering empathy, collaboration and bold problem-solving in the children. Join us to give your child the tools, mindset and confidence to create a meaningful impact today.
