U.S. Youth Empowerment

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
- Marianne Williamson

Youth Empowerment Program is an intensive 4-week residential program which gives an immersion in stress and trauma relief techniques of breathing, meditation and yoga and prepares participants to teach those techniques back to the community. A focus on leadership, teamwork and communication skills creates a solidly bonded team of volunteers with an emphasis on service that gives back to communities in need.

In the words of a the Youth Empowerment Program graduate in the summer of 2006,

"Youth Empowerment Program was the most memorable and rewarding experience of my life. I can’t wait to go back."

The program challenges the youth participants to learn and embody the Art of Living, discover their potential and be the change they wish to see.

All this is nurtured by a deep connection with a loving and accepting team who dedicate themselves to the challenging and ultimately fulfilling work of personal growth and service.

The antidote to depression is doing some service for someone else.
