Welcome to the revolutionary and transformative Changemaking YES Certified Facilitator Program.

Our program aims to introduce a groundbreaking concept of changemaking to participants, emphasizing that everyone is born with the inherent power to drive personal and societal change. It only requires societal trust and permission to unleash this extraordinary power.

By adopting an inclusive approach, our program breaks down traditional barriers and encourages individuals from all fields of study to become changemakers and make a positive impact on society.

We believe that the power of changemaking is one of the most neglected capacities of young individuals. Our mission is to unlock the inherent changemaking power within every individual, regardless of background

or education.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE LAUNCHING THE YES CERTIFIED FACILITATOR

PROGRAM

These YOUTH-LED CHANGEMAKING AMBASSADORS will be equipped with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to launch and implement Changemaking programs, fostering a culture of innovation, social responsibility, and community engagement.

A Look Back & What makes this program unique

The Changemaking program, developed by Mr. Ali Raza Khan, an Ashoka Fellow and Jeane Sauve Scholar, has revolutionized the way we perceive the potential of young people and approach youth empowerment. 


With a unique trust-based approach, this program aims to tap into, embrace, and harness the inherent changemaking power within each individual, regardless of their background or education. Its simplicity and scalability ensure accessibility for millions of young people worldwide to become changemakers.

In just a few weeks, students undergo a transformative journey, acquiring a new belief system and a profound sense of social responsibility. This program distinguishes itself by empowering young people to become donors and solution providers, enabling them to address pressing social challenges and make a meaningful impact from an early stage.

This unique program has been extensively tested and documented, yielding a remarkable success rate of

over 80% among students

from various educational institutions.

They YES Youth-led Changemaking approach and its underlying methodology a groundbreaking initiative that transcends traditional models and promises to tip the whole environment. We embrace every individual within institutions and communities, fostering a culture of changemaking. With a success rate of over 80% of young people in our programs demonstrating their changemaking potential outside of the classroom we believe this to be one of the most effective approaches to empower and engage young people to experience self-efficacy and enroll them to be leaders and changemakers now, in their own lives and in their communities.


WHAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE?

We're not your average entrepreneurship program.

We show that young people can make use of their innate changemaking abilities without much preparation. Thus we deliver results in days and weeks rather than months and years. We let them drive the change. The results speak for themselves.

Instead of filling young peoples heads with yet more theory and classroom 'knowledge' we encourage them to drive change themselves in the real world. With astonishing results. Young people that emerge as leaders and innovators that surprise themselves and everyone else.

YES changemaking initiatives don't require a lot of money to launch and run AND they generate their own resources rather than just using up funding, allowing you to stretch out funding further and creating a ripple effect of positive change even on a budget. In fact, pilots in several countries such as Mexico, Zimbabwe and Kenya have been launched with less than 1000 USD and have impacted hundreds of young people.

The YES youth-led changemaking methodology has a stellar success rate. Over 80% of young people succeed in launching their own youth-led venture on the first try and the others are invited back to try again. Also, youth are directly involved in the support of the program. Over 80% of participants in the YES Challenges become contributors themselves after having launched their own successful youth-led ventures.

Last but not least...

The institutional change approach of the YES methodology leads to shifts in culture at established institutions. It can create a vibrant spirit and can transform an average campus into a changemaker campus. The fact that YES Challenges allow every young person, not just a select few, to participate and become changemakers, positively impacts not only the youth but also teachers, parents and the entire community. It is a truly scalable and replicable process.

Societies around the world, and particularly educational institutions, suffer from a significant deficit in changemaking power. Recognizing this deficit, by empowering teachers, institutional and community leaders to help young people harness their innate changemaking power.
