Student Testimonial: “Before the beginning of YYGS, I remember feeling nervous and questioned how the event would run. But, by day two, I realized that I didnt need to worry. The YYGS program questioned things I thought I knew, scratched beyond the surface level, and helped me effectively communicate my ideas and opinions. Ive grown with a community of inspiring students, dedicated staff, and passionate professors. Words couldnt even begin to describe this experience, but I am beyond grateful. – Janine, YYGS Participant, Ghana Parent Testimonial: “As my son Danny studied in this program, I witnessed firsthand its teachers dedication, thoughtfulness, and professionalism.
