Who Is Putting This Event On?

"This week has been a defining moment for me. All activists and young philanthropists should have the opportunity to share in all that Youth Jams have to offer. The YES! Jam I went to inspired and empowered me. It is an amazing concept and a vibrant reality."
- Carolyn Deere, Program Officer, The Rockefeller Foundation

Founded in 1990, YES! connects, inspires and empowers leading young changemakers to join forces for a thriving, just and sustainable way of life for all. YES! has held 90+ week-long events for diverse young leaders from 65+ nations, spoken in person to more than 625,000 students with a message of hope and a call to action, and produced and distributed hundreds of thousands of books, videos, action guides and fact booklets to help young people make a difference. YES! Jams unite groups of 30 young leaders who are committed to working for positive change in the world.

The Leveraging Privilege Jam is coordinated by YES! (www.yesworld.org), and co-sponsored by Resource Generation (www.resourcegeneration.org), and Shikshantar (www.swaraj.org)
