Why we do what we do
We believe in the innovative potential of people and the power of teamwork and collaboration, not limited by borders, cultures or differences to achieve goals for creating positive change on local and international level.
We believe in the goodness of people everywhere and in the combined power of friends, family and community to help dreams and aspirations
come true.
We trigger people's potential by giving them a platform and (internarional exchange) exposure, by allowing them to be part of our YHS team/projects and experience how 'strangers can help you gain a network of resources to achieve even higher goals'. We connect you to a network across the globe and then we trust in the goodness of people to join us in doing the same for more people so the chain of empowered individuals keeps growing.
