OUR IMPACT

The impact of YES can be seen in the stories of young people – and in the numbers. Each year, we reach many young people in Suriname through our training programs, workshops, and coaching trajectories. Together, we build self-confidence, awareness, and the power to make empowered choices.




Our most recent impact measurements show that more than 90% of young people feel stronger and make more conscious choices after participating in our programs. Nearly all participants report experiencing greater self-confidence, more courage, and a stronger awareness of their own qualities and potential.

These results are measured and analysed annually. In our impact reports, you can read more about the development young people go through and the sustainable change we create together.
