Global Youth Empowering Movement
To educate and empower
Youth to understand and
act upon their potentials to
serve.
VISION
To run GYEM workshops and launch
a website, to educate youth and
assist them to establish social
enterprises that actively promote
the GYEMvision.
MISSION
− Establish programs in schools.
− Create a website that serves as a
platform for dialogue and discussion
and a means to connect projects.
− Change the eating and exercise
habits of Youth.
OBJECTIVES
- We can’t change society, if we don't simultaneously change.
- We use our passions for service - In an increasingly globalized world, our identity is 'Global
Citizen' - Unity in diversity
- Youth are the future -Money is not the purpose of life
-Education and service are the solution, and must go hand in hand
-- Youth have an acute sense of justice
- Humans should be approached as inherently good - Within community, lies unique individualism
-The strong individual is nothing without its community, and a community is nothing wtihout strong individuals
- Experience doesn't equal better - Everyone has something valuable to contribute; we are
all created equal
PHILOSOPHY
PLATFORM GYEM WORKSHOPS
This is our physical
platform; the initial steps to
understand the world, the
self and true service. After,
Youth apply what they
learn, by immediately
starting service projects.
GYEM WEBSITE This is our virtual
platform; where Youth
share their projects,
connect with like-minded people, and
track their progress.
PROCESS
PROGRAMS These supplement the learning,
deepening & bonding of GYEMers.
1) Youth Night: where all GYEMers present their updates on their
projects, successes, failures and
needs.
2) Training seminars: these range from career workshops, to presentation
skills etc.
EVENTS These are to spread awareness of GYEM,
create public dialogue, and to celebrate
like-minded Youth!
1) OPEN MIC NITE: an all time favorite; the stage is open for anyone to
perform a song, spoken word piece
or a poem; each night has a different
subject.
2) GET ACTIVE: these are bi-yearly events which bring the public
together to get them moving; ranges from yoga, to dance classes, to walks
etc.
