What is Youth Empowering Youth (YEY)?
Youth Empowering Youth is a leadership program and movement for children and youth. Our Children’s program is for ages 8-12, and consists of eight 1-hour sessions. Our Youth program is for ages 13-18, and consists of nine 1.5-hour sessions. All our sessions are currently being held online via zoom. Each class shares a new concept to help students take accountability for their thoughts, feelings and actions, thus moving them into a place of confidence, security, and self-assurance.YEY intends to implement the ideas demonstrated in the Success for Teens book. The topics shared during the Youth program are as follows:
Session 1 – Ripple Effect
Session 2 – Attitude Create Your Life
Session 3 – The Moment You Stop Blaming, You Take Back your Power
Session 4 – Take Action! With small Steps
Session 5 – Fail Forward to Success
Session 6 – Drive Your Life with Powerful habits
Session 7 – Be a Student of Life

Entropy is the measurement of disorder. A chaotic and disorderly state can be said to have high entropy, whereas an efficient, harmonious state—a state of stability, order, and balance—is considered as a low entropy state.
This is why we’ve taken up a mission as the Low Entropy Foundation. We strive to reduce the entropy in our social system to nurture a more loving, respectful humanity—a caring, global family that supports and cares for one another.
