At YSA, we do nothing alone. In 2011, YSA partners included 98 U.S.-based Lead organizations, which mobilized 278,234 youth. International partnerships expanded to include 10 Regional Partners and 65 Country Partners, reaching millions and measurably activating 272,129 youth outside the U.S.


Our project coordinator is 11 years old, and many youth of Tanzania think that children under 18 cannot take on change. But from our project, other children saw that they too can think and realize big initiatives that can affect an entire country. They created a confidence.

I had never been part of anything like that before, maybe because we youth never bothered to do anything rather than complain! I discovered that we can do so much more as a team that has a goal.

Through our GYSD projects, students learned the benefits of forming relationships between community organizations and that a teamwork approach is much more effective than trying to do things on your own. –Belene, Bulgaria
