YGA Summit 2020 will take place at Zorlu Performance Center on January 18, 2020, at 8:30 – 17:30. We won’t have YGA Summit for 2019 due to the schedule of YGA.

After the application forms are evaluated, 1200 university students and 500 high school students are invited to the YGA Summit.

Yes. You can complete your application for YGA, watch the summit online after your exam using the password that we will send you and continue your YGA process without any difference between you and the those attending the summit in person.

The application forms are evaluated by the YGA Advisory Board, YGA Graduates and Dream Partners including senior managers of multi-national companies, academicians, artists and entrepreneurs. YGA Dream Partners and Advisory Board: http://www.yga.org.tr/tr/hayal-ortaklari

Students from more than 100 universities from all around Turkey attended the YGA Summit of last year. Our door is open to all young individuals, who have self-esteem but no ego, and want to partner in YGA's dream.

We expect the participants from Istanbul to arrive to the Summit location with their own means. For candidates who will attend the Summit from cities outside Istanbul, YGA buses are organized from cities like Ankara, Izmir and Antalya every year based on the number of applications. Transportation plan for other cities is determined based on the number of participants from the respective cities. If there is no YGA Bus from your city, YGA covers your transportation cost to the nearest city with YGA Bus. For this, the bus ticket should be handed to us during the YGA Summit. For explaining the details before the YGA Summit, the organization team will reach all candidates on their mobile phone.

The participants will need to pay a small fee of 35 TL. In this way, you will also contribute to the organization of such an extensive event with many expense items. The transportation costs of all participants outside Istanbul and the food costs of all participants are covered by YGA.

Above all, our contributors are not defined as sponsors. The companies contributing to the YGA Summit are dream partner organizations and strategic partners of YGA that we work together in various projects. While YGA is raising funds, our dream is to ensure that thousands and even millions of individuals help to raise the required resource with smaller contributions rather than a few big companies funding the entire amount. Thus, we aim to involve more people in the efforts to create a better Turkey and a better World. Yet, the number of individuals that we have reached so far is not a million yet. On the other hand, the organization requires a huge budget including the venue prices, transportation of nearly 1500 students from various cities to Istanbul and the lunch for over 2000 people. Thus, we take support from our strategic partner companies for the Summit expenses. We also take contribution fee of TL 35 from each candidate qualified to attend the Summit.

All high school and university students may apply for the YGA Summit regardless of their grade.

Application is open until November 9, 23:59.

The applications are evaluated based on the teamwork criteria. People, who have small egos, large hearts, bright minds and fast wings in line with the criteria of YGA, are invited to the Summit.

Come over. Former YGA Presidents and current YGA Initiative Leaders Asude and Sadık read the comments on "ekşi sözlük” and explain what YGA is about. If you want to learn more, join us in the YGA Summit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNkNNbF6rDY

I have not been selected for the Summit. Do I have the right to watch the YGA Summit online?

Unfortunately, not. Our current budget only allows bus transport.

True, the fractional resource collected from 1,700 participants could have been collected with the sponsorship of one or few companies. However, while YGA is raising funds, our dream is to ensure that thousands and even millions of individuals help to raise the required resource with smaller contributions rather than a few big companies funding the entire amount. Thus, we aim to involve more people in the efforts to create a better Turkey and a better World. Besides, we also dream that YGA would continue its projects independently.

The application results will be announced on the YGA website on December 10.
