Youth Leadership Training Programme (YLTP)

Ages 18 +
Join youth from around the world in a fun and challenging opportunity for personal growth and service.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
- Marianne Williamson

Youth Leadership Training Program, or YLTP, is an intensive residential program which gives you an immersion in stress and trauma relief techniques of breathing, meditation and yoga and prepares you 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 one YLTP graduate,
"Youth Leadership Training was the most memorable and rewarding experience of my life. I can’t wait to go back."

Discover your Potential
YLTP expands your ability to live a happy, fulfilling and useful life.  It breaks the boundaries of what you thought you were capable of, increasing your personal power, energy and focus, as well as leadership, teamwork and communication skills.
It challenges you to learn and embody the Art of Living, discover your potential and be the change you wish to see.  Tapping your inner wisdom, you become a model of inner strength, joy and caring for the world.  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 recipe for depression is just asking '"What about me?"
The antidote to depression is doing some service for someone else.

You Can Make a Real Difference
YLTP's focus is on providing stress and trauma relief, and returning peace of mind to those who have had their lives radically disrupted by disaster situations such as Hurricane Katrina. Participants are prepared to teach a free trauma and stress relief course, and organize and implement community development projects.

Know Your Child

It is a two hour interactive workshop that gives parents a glimpse into the child�s mind and enables them to find the root cause of such behaviour. Ignorance of this knowledge can be quite frustrating for the parents and often results in the child getting scolded or beaten, which can be detrimental to growth in the long run. Such undesirable behaviour can introduce inhibitions in the child that he/she may carry to adulthood and even all through their lives. Understanding the nature of the child equips parents to deal with such commonly occurring situations more effectively in a way that the child can blossom more completely while maintaining the joy in a parent-child relationship.
