LOCAL YL CHAPTERS
YL CHAPTERS are our ground teams spreading our message and wide range of offers to their city and region, tell us about local needs, potentials and partners and report back about activities in vivid photos and brief reports published on our website to inspire our global community.
YL CHAPTERS are formed by caring citizens from all walks of life. Also organizations can serve as local chapter. It begins with a single person. You.
Serving as Local Chapter means SPREADING THE WORD in several ways, to local schools, media, organizations and funders. We do not expect you to do all of the outreach activities.
The advanced level of the YL Messenger means Giving Presentations.
FORMING A LOCAL CHAPTER IS SIMPLE

TRUE LOVE FOR THE EARTH

YL members are motivated by LOVE. Those feeling the pain and outrage of the world acknowledge the need for healing, and WE focus entirely on solutions; this is the new, the secret and path of success.

TRUE LOVE FOR YOUTH AND PEOPLE

OUR community is driven by profound care, compassion, conviction and trust in the goodness and potential of people and the power of one, especially YOUTH, because we SEE and FEEL it from their enormous success stories.

READY TO LEARN NEW THINGS

OUR members are driven by passion, curiosity and challenge of becoming the change the world needs to see, and qualifying ourselves as inspirers, consultants and mentors for our peers, by learning viable solutions, stepping out into the new and trying things we have never done before. Because we’ve seen it work and trust that we can do the same.
