Topics, chosen by youth, often center around goal setting, mental health concerns, academic pressure, healthy relationships, peer pressure, and social change. YES! consists of a town hall format to allow youth to share their views on a broad range of topics, and several breakout sessions which allow them to further discuss, without judgment, what matters to them and get helpful information from experts.
