Hearing their personal experiences made me realize that success is attainable even though I might make mistakes. The important thing is to recognize my own talents and use them to create change and inspire others."

I had never felt as excited and inspired both physically and mentally as I had at YGA leadership School. It is a school where you meet dream-partners, successful leaders, teachers who inspire,
motivate and encourage you to be and to do better.
For me, the effects of this educational program will last a life time.
My sincerest gratitude to all.

The importance of believing in yourself,
The importance of believing in others,
Believing in my dreams,
Realizing I could be a dream-partner of Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK
are all the things I learned at YGA leadership school.
Hearing success stories of leaders from their mouths inspired me to do better for my country, for the world.
I made 13 new friends who I now call my dream-partners. I know together we will work on many social projects which will make a difference in our country. I thank YGA for this leadership school which challanged me, gave me the opportunity to meet my dream partners and most importantly showed me that anything is possible to achieve if you only believe.
Thank you YGA

It was such an great experience to work with people in developing social responsibility projects in the workshops.
What an amazing experience. Full of surprises, activities, programs all to help us be better leaders.The most important lesson for me was to learn the importance of being an " Truthtful Leader"
YGA is the first NGO in Turkey maybe even in the world to teach leadership skills by letting us develop and implement social responsibility projects. For this I applaud and
THANK YGA.

I had lessons which showed me what I could do better for my country, for the world and most
importantly for myself as a person.
If you ask me to tell you the difference between Sezin before and after the program, I would tell you; after the school, my dreams are more clear, I have an more positive mind, I hear more and I am excited to share more.
I cant say "THANK YOU" enough to everyone who inspired us, who motivated us, who showed us the road to be not only successful leaders but successful human beings as well.

What can you say about a program where each moment, each activity is planned and organized with so much detail, so much care and so much love
I will always cherish the time I have spent at the school. I have so many wonderful memories of friendship.
I have experienced and learned so many great leadership skills which I know I will use from now on.
Selflessness, servant leadership, courage, taking risks, believing in your dreams, respect for others are all traits I know a leader should have. I thank all the leaders at the camp who showed us what a
"Truthful Leader " should be.
