What is YGA and What is Its Purpose?
YGA is a nonprofit civil society organization founded in Türkiye. It discovers and nurtures double-winged role models who inspire us to look toward the future with hope.
For us, being double-winged means having the conscience to design projects for the benefit of humanity while also possessing the competence to develop groundbreaking solutions to major global challenges.
How Does YGA Nurture Double Wings?
Every year, over 20,000 high school and university students apply to YGA. Through a four-stage selection process, 30 dedicated volunteers are chosen.
These promising young individuals develop themselves while bringing science with conscience to underserved communities.
High school and university volunteers in YGA Programs take on key roles within the World Science Movement, YGA’s unique model for economic and social development.
YGA Volunteers
Not in Classrooms, But in the Field | They engage with children in real-world settings, instilling a love for conscientious science while developing their own skills and teamwork abilities.
Not Reactive, But Proactive | Instead of reacting to problems after they occur, they focus on creating preventive solutions.
Not Palliative, But Root-Cause-Oriented | They don’t settle for quick fixes; instead, they dig deeper to understand and tackle the root causes of challenges.
Mentorship and the YGA Alumni Network
Graduates of YGA programs become mentors for new volunteers, fostering a culture of giving back.
Unlike traditional mentorship models, YGA embraces a master-apprentice approach, where volunteers learn by doing through hands-on experiences.
Each YGA volunteer commits over 500 hours annually to responsibilities that strengthen their double wings.
By working alongside inspiring role models, they gain invaluable real-world learning experiences that shape them into future leaders.
