Youth Empowerment through Sport

Structure of the program

The focus on participant responsibility ensures that the youths get practice in making decisions.

The YES workshops are four - five days in length and consist of both practical and theory sessions. During this period the basic concepts of the program are explained to the participants and they also engage in practical activities. They also undertake all the roles that the youths will undertake during the camp so that they can fully appreciate how the program operates.

TTASPE has included the aspect of journal recordings to help the youths to make positive changes in their personal and social behavior. We have also embarked on doing our own research of the effectiveness of the program and will be making these findings public in an effort to stimulate research in the region as well as to improve our program.
