" I can't tell you how I got impressed by the Young Guru Academy team and the wonderful leadership program. The YGA is an outstanding educational and youth empowerment / enrichment program. My assessment is based on my previous experience as the director of college residential programs, as the Assistant Dean at Appalachian State University where I dealt with international programs, as a university instructor and college president. This is one of the most well planned and executed programs that I have seen in my many, many years of experience. Last summer I had the opportunity to meet the students from Turkey who were in the USA Leadership Camp program when they visited Washington , DC The entire group was extremely bright and articulate. Their development projects at home was extraordinary. It was clear that they had depth and breadth of knowledge and commitment that is atypical of young people their age and I have dealt with many young people their age. They exhibited a level of maturity that is rarely seen in people so young. The reason that the young people are so intellectually strong and committed is the rigorous selection process for participants. Those responsible for developing and maintaining the program are themselves deeply committed to have an outstanding program that will have long lasting impact in the US and Turkey. They have done a remarkable job of selecting the best young people for the program."
