We'll start with a retreat. Then, you’ll plug into Yo's committees, meet with mentors, and join workshops that push your thinking and sharpen your impact.

This is how you get involved with Yo. Our committees are where the planning and execution happen. As part of this program, you'll join a core committee and play a role in shaping what we do:
Yo! Marketing
You'll share stories, check out events, and help others explore what our community has to offer.
Yo!Koso
Create fresh, unique events that bring young adults together and help them build genuine connections.
Yo! Camp
Help plan and run the absolute best week of the year for the next generation at our week-long overnight summer camp.
Retreats won’t always be local. To deepen connections and expand perspectives, we host gatherings in different locations—including out-of-state. Each one is designed to immerse you in the larger Yo! network and community.
