What is YES+?

YES+ empowers students by teaching tools that eliminate stress, rid the system of negative emotions, develop strong social and leadership skills, increase focus and concentration, and implement projects for community service.

  • Improved focus and concentration
  • Increased confidence
  • Greater engagement in campus life
  • Better study habits
  • Greater sense of responsibility for other students
  • Greater ability to cope with personal and academic stresses and challenges

YES+ at Stanford

Case Study: YES+ @ Cornell University

YES+ is currently in its second year of being offered at Cornell University for credit through their Physical Education Department.
 
How has YES!+ been implemented at Cornell? 

YES+ is a 28 hour course that fulfills one credit hour at Cornell. YES+ is offered at the beginning of each semester for 6 days in a row. Students complete their credit requirement in these 6 days. YES+ has been incredibly successful at Cornell, with 100% of students saying they would recommend it to other students.
 

How do I set up YES+ as a credit course in my university?

YES+ is a flexible program that can be offered through various departments, formats and schedules. YES+ also offers advanced level programs that include retreats and travel service programs.

First, determine which university department would offer YES+. The curriculum of YES+ covers: wellness of body and mind, leadership, communication, stress management, meditation and yoga, study and concentration skills, teamwork, physical fitness, and community engagement. It can be offered through various departments/subject areas including: physical education, kinesiology, psychology, sociology, leadership, health and wellness.

Second, determine the format, number of credit hours and time span for YES+ at your university. YES!+ can be offered for a minimum of 28 hours and expanded to a 56 hour curriculum. The simplest format for the program is to spread the 28 hour program over 6 consecutive days (4 hours on weekdays, 6 hours over the weekend). YES+ may also be spread over a semester, once or twice a week after an initial 3-day launch.
 
Evaluations are available to measure various outcomes of the YES+ Course for students including physical and mental wellness and academic performance.
