The YES Program
(6-8 Grades)
The YES program stands for Youth Empowerment Series. This program lasts up to four days where we provide leadership trainers who visit middle school classes and provide emotional intelligence training to middle school students. This includes social-emotional learning and leadership concepts being developed during middle school.
Testimonials
Teacher Comments
"The content was appropriate for the age and the demographics of my classes as a whole - this is information that they need to learn about."
"Keeps the kids attention and makes it fun."
"I like that the program provides students with the opportunity to reflect on learned material as it applies to them individually; students love that and ask for it all the time, especially at this age. They always talk about how stuff can relay back to them, and they make connections easier that way!"
