What is the YUGA Leadership Camp?
The YUGA Leadership Camp is a peer education program designed to help youth build their leadership skills and gain in-depth knowledge on issues affecting youth around the world. YUGA camp gives youth the resources and abilities they need to go back to their schools and communities trained and energized to raise awareness about global issues like poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate change and child exploitation.
Each year YUGA selects a diverse group of passionate and committed young people to become YUGA leaders. Throughout the year YUGA leaders work to run four action campaigns and activities in their schools and communities to raise awareness and take action on global issues and show there are ways to make positive change in the world.
