September 2024 – September 2025

New Jams and other YES! programs are being added all the time; information and applications are updated, so please check back often!

Many thanks to The Global Youth Leadership Collaborative for laying the foundation for so many of these programs.

As we evolve alongside the realities of public health, we are embracing our commitment to community, connection, collaboration and co-liberation. While we’ve returned to primarily in-person convenings, we are also co-creating online Jams, workshops, and other offerings. You can see what we are anticipating above and below, and more new programs will be coming soon.

Egypt Youth Jam, June 2025 – The 9th Egypt Jam will connect 20+ diverse, engaged and committed leaders from around the country to develop skills and share inspiration.

Anatolia Arts for Social Change Jam, Summer 2025, Turkey – The 5th Arts for Social Change Jam in Turkey will bring together 30 artist-activists from around the country — dancers, musicians, storytellers, filmmakers, photographers, visual artists, and more — to strengthen and deepen arts offerings towards building a thriving, just and regenerative world for all.

Law and Social Change Jam, Summer 2025, Millerton, NY – Join a diverse group of practitioners of law and justice for a week of personal inquiry, mutual support, and community building.

India Arts for Social Change Jam, Summer 2025, India –  This Jam is a co-creative, community growing space where Artivists (artist+activist) from diverse backgrounds connect with and inspire each other.

North America Leadership Jam, September 1-8 2025, Santa Cruz, CA – This Jam brings together 30 changemakers from across North America for a seven-day deep dive, exploring the connections between self-awareness, group evolution, and systemic change. We gather to grow internally, build community and discover collective ways to move towards transformative change. We also gather to have a ton of fun, make art, and reconnect with nature and our spirits. It’s a unique blend of personal recharge and deep exploration into how we can reshape the world. 

Education Transformation Jam (Virtual),  Summer or Fall 2025 – Bringing together 30 leaders and visionaries from across the oft-divided education world: public, private, independent, and charter schools, unschooling, homeschooling, learning communities, youth empowerment, leadership development, adult education, early childhood,  higher education, and more, the Ed Jam creates opportunities to explore our experiences and visions of education, build lasting and collaborative relationships, deepen our perspectives of challenging questions, share places of growth, struggle and healing, and have a lot of fun.

India Youth Jam, Fall 2025, India – With India as a country experiencing lots of upheavals recently, and many young people taking a stand in a variety of ways, the Jam is a place pause, find solidarity, sit with conflict, and practice listening to ourselves and each other.
