Often, life for a teenager is like standing at crossroads: many choices to make in academics, career, relationships; wanting to break free to make an identity yet scared of the road that lies ahead.
When you say yes to YES!? This teenager walks confidently on.
YES is a fun and challenging life-skills and leadership program that provides youth with practical knowledge and effective tools to reduce stress, manage emotions, and develop social and leadership skills.
The course also helps teens to talk about problems that they face – whether it is relationships, substance abuse or peer pressure. The stress-elimination techniques taught in the YES! course help young adults to deal with these challenges.
