Yes! Changemakers Information

YES! connects, inspires & collaborates with change-makers to build thriving, just & balanced ways of life for all. To date, we have worked with more than 1500 people around the world with a global impact of 72.6 million people! We incubate exploratory and innovative programs, remaining open to the evolving needs and opportunities of our constituents and our world. We seek to facilitate growth and positive change on three simultaneous and deeply interconnected levels: the internal, the interpersonal, and the systemic. Internal: We value spiritual, emotional and physical health and wellbeing, using whatever paths and forms support each unique individual in gradually becoming more aware, compassionate and courageous. Our experience is that we are all deeply impacted by our personal, family and cultural histories, and that transforming unhealthy fears, habits and reactive impulses takes steadfast commitment and discipline. We respect the many paths that serve as guideposts and sources of sustenance on the human journey, and we seek to awaken and affirm a sense of connection to the sacred in all of life. Interpersonal: We strive towards relationships built on respect, generosity of spirit, and a commitment to one another's growth and well-being. We value deep listening, taking the time to hear and understand one another across differences. We value speaking our truth with compassion, honoring each other's unique perspectives and gifts. We use conflict as an opportunity for greater clarity, authenticity and transformation. Systemic: We are committed to helping build a thriving, just and sustainable way of life for all, and to supporting those people and groups who work toward this goal on personal, local, regional, national and international levels. YES! recognizes the interconnectivity of all the challenges in our world today, and sees every act of courage, love and wisdom as a stand on behalf of the wellbeing of current and future generations.
