Youth Exchange Service (YES) (NETHERLANDS)
Our mission is to give young people the opportunity to explore the world and find their own possibilities, which the world has for them. YES empowers people by giving them space to develop themselves on a personal and professional level. YES is working actively on equality, inclusion, diversity and creativity. We believe the intercultural dialogue and challenging environment is supporting young people to discover themselves, their own talents and passions. Our target groups are young people in the age of 14-30 in the rural area of West-Friesland, but also young people outside of this region participate and volunteer with us. We cooperate with schools, other NGOs, like organisations working with people with disabilities.
