I experienced releases of stress that I believe had been here for a long time. I learnt tools to make every moment a moment of peace.
Many of us would like to be more effective at service and being leaders at work, at school, and in our communities, but often our own lives are stressful, hindering our success. Sometimes serving our communities can be draining. The Youth Leadership Training Program (YLTP) gives us the strength, tools, and motivation to be powerful agents of change now and in the future. The Art of Living's approach to empowering communities is to first strengthen and uplift basic human values such as caring, serving, and friendliness, in course participants so that they become effective agents of change in their communities.
Offered by the International Association for Human Values (IAHV), the sister organization of the Art of Living Foundation, YLTP is a course which pairs youth development with innovative and effective ways to impact the wider community in a positive way. The YLTP program consists of a YES+ [link] curriculum to strengthen participants in leadership, communication, clarity, and emotional well-being, after which participants give back to the community through teaching simple trauma- and stress-relief programs.
The YLTP program serves as a powerful setting in which participants can Be the Change in an intensive and dynamic residential environment, benefiting from learning and growing with like-minded, service-oriented young people. YLTP locations and service projects change annually (periodically?) to reach out to a wide variety of communities and speak to a range of social and environmental issues across the United States.
