OCTOBER 2023 – SEPTEMBER 2024

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 Covid-19 pandemic, we are embracing our commitment to community, connection, collaboration and co-liberation. While we return 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.

Toronto Jam, Summer 2024, Toronto – The 9th Toronto Jam will be an experiment in ‘beloved community’: a place where we can intentionally come together to practice the art of connection, collaboration, and co-liberation in the context of a society that is constantly seeking to divide us.

Anatolia Arts for Social Change Jam, Summer 2024, 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.

Middle East Leadership Jam, Fall 2024, Cyprus – The 12th ME Jam brings together diverse young leaders from around the region, who are committed to hope, possibility, justice and peace for all peoples in the region. It is co-organized and facilitated by a diverse group of Middle East Jam alumni.

Northeast Changemakers Jam, Fall 2024, Maine – a five day gathering of up to 30 dynamic changemakers from the Northeast region to engage in deep learning, listening, systemic inquiry, and community building with an eye towards transforming ourselves and our region to better align with the value we profess.

India Youth Jam, Fall 2024, 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.

Men Raised as Men Jam, February 2025, Location TBD – The 2nd Jam to offer participants the opportunity to catalyze positive change through healing, homecoming, and expression of healthy masculinity as part of a resilient whole.
