Discover The YES Way, a framework where Youth Engaging Society (YES) becomes the core of school culture.

"It took the courage to be disliked and the courage to be happy to give me the confidence to put The YES Way on track! A dialogue is currently underway between the Philosopher and the Youth in the Masterclass, held every Saturday at 17:30 IST. All proceeds from the Masterclass go toward building capacity for our Special Projects Program #JoyOfGiving. " Sandeep Dutt

The Impact
FEEDBACK on Workshops
The workshop was suitable and very interesting. We learnt quite a lot. We know that each of us is 10/10, yet we may have different likings, ways of thinking, and passions. We learnt to work with a team and create something creative and new. The workshop was FUN!!
Thank you. J

I've attended many leadership summits; this is the only one where the Trainer intellectually connected with the audience. To improve the process, please provide written material or handouts for the person to refer to in the future and retain the ideas for a longer period.

This is a great initiative. The suitable workshop helped me balance my studies, sports, skills, and services. These workshops should be held more often.

It was a good experience with "Youth Engaging Society (YES)."
- Yashish Sharma
Just 60 days of YES—what a success! I'm sure this 'Brand' will go a long way. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, which was full of fun and excitement.
- Tanya Roy
I will sit back and consider whether I can find myself. This workshop has greatly inspired me, though it didn't interest me initially; towards the end, it left a strong mark and raised questions in my life.
