TRANSFORMATIVE YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM IN THE USA

Imagine spending a week in a diverse, creative community of youth and adults where no one puts you down. Rather, everyone supports you in taking creative risks you never thought possible. Perhaps you discover that you are a poet, a singer, a dynamic speaker… or that you have deep wells of empathy and care for the world. You learn all kinds of amazing things about yourself and others—and this knowledge propels you in the direction of accomplishing your biggest dreams.

This is Power of Hope, a transformative youth leadership program that builds vital life skills and sets youth on positive life paths. A weeklong program combining experiential learning with creative expression. Led by skilled facilitators who have access to their creativity and have a passion for life. A carefully designed immersive experience where young people learn to express themselves, develop strong relationships, and take action on things they care about in their world. 

Υouth develop confidence, a joy for life, and the internal motivation to follow their aspirations and live a meaningful life. They learn to build bridges across lines of difference like religion, culture and class—an increasingly important skill in today’s world.
