The Youth Excellence Society
Vancouver Island based leadership program serving British Columbia teens through overnight summer camps, school workshops and online courses.
For over 45 years, the YES has been providing a unique learning experience for over 15,000 youth across BC. The YES is a charitable organization that has no religious affiliation and is supported through the province's co-operative and credit union movement.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global framework for non-formal education and learning that challenges young people to dream big, celebrate their achievements, and make a difference in their world. By helping young people find their purpose, passion, and place in the world through developing transferable skills, increasing their fitness levels, cultivating a sense of adventure, and volunteering in their community, the Award helps them find their worldview.
We believe our programming not only changes the lives of our participants,
but provides them with the tools and skills to create positive change
in their family, school, and community.
