Wow, when did it become May?! YEA Camp 2012 seems like it ended not that lo=
ng ago, but YEA Camp 2013 is right around the corner, and we cannot wait fo=
r another epic experience with some of the most inspiring teenagers on the =
planet!
YEA Camp is a unique program, and there is nothing quite like it to support=
teens in taking a holistic, positive, and strategic approach to making a d=
ifference in their community and the world — whether it be addressing anim=
al cruelty, climate change, racism, homophobia, bullying, war, poverty, or =
other forms of injustice. Who do you know who would love YEA Camp? We still have spots available for each of our sessions in Californ=
ia, Oregon, and Massachusetts. See dates to the right and visit YEACamp.org =
;for more info.
Check out and help out these inspiring future YEA Campers!
We believe any age-appropriate youth who=
really wants to attend YEA Camp should be able to, even if their family ca=
n’t afford the tuition. Thanks to some very generous donors, we have never =
turned anyone away for lack of funds. We also work with future campers to e=
ncourage them to fundraise towards their tuition — a valuable activism ski=
ll in itself. We’ve got over a dozen campers who have created fundraising p=
ages and could use your help. Please check out why these impressive young people wan=
t to come to YEA Camp and support their efforts to experience YEA =
Camp this summer. As our alumni campers attest, it will make a difference for ye=
ars to come.
Help Gina come to YEA Camp this summer! “My g=
oal is to help end modern day slavery. By attending Youth Empowered Action =
Camp this summer I hope to pursue my passion with other driven, like minded=
, and ambitious teenagers my age in an environment where the main goal is t=
o tackle some of the biggest issues facing the world.”
H=
elp Tyler=
come to YEA Camp this summer! “I want to prevent bullying and=
teen suicides, because they need to know they aren’t alone and that it get=
s better. I want to create a huge group of accepting people, all striving t=
owards equality, rights, and most of all, happiness.”
Help Paulina come to YEA Camp this summer! “I am a strong supporter of equality and I want to make sure everyone i=
s treated equally. I want to attend YEA Camp this year so that I can learn =
first hand how I can make a difference.”
Help Vivien come to YEA Camp This summer! “Please help me in my=
journey of spreading awareness for human trafficking all through out our c=
ommunity, because if we start small together, we WILL get somewhere and att=
ain justice.”
Help Lily =
come to YEA Camp this summer! “I’m vegan, and I care a lot about a=
nimal rights. I also care about our environment. In the future, I plan on m=
ajoring in Environmental Conservation. I want to attend YEA to have the sup=
port of the YEA staff to help me express and inform people about animal rig=
hts/cruelty, and the problems affecting our environment.”
We’ll be sharing a new future YEA Camper fundraising profile on our Faceboo=
k page every day until camp starts, until they are all funded. Please check=
out and like our Facebook page and support and share these inspiring=
teens’ efforts! To see more and contribute to our fantastic future ca=
