October 2025 – September 2026

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 realities of public health, we are embracing our commitment to community, connection, collaboration and co-liberation. While we’ve returned 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.

India Youth Jam,  March 29th – April 5th, 2026, 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.

Egypt Youth Jam,  Spring 2026 – The 9th Egypt Jam will connect 20+ diverse, engaged and committed leaders from around the country to develop skills and share inspiration. Over the period of five days, we will journey together through deep listening, self-discovery, systemic inquiry and community building.

Southern Changemakers Jam,  Summer 2026, Somewhere in the South – This unique gathering will unite 20-25 dynamic and diverse Southern dreamers and changemakers.

Men Raised as Men Jam,  July 30th to August 4th, 2026, TBD – This Jam will be a place to connect with people who share the experience of living in a male body and being raised/socialized as men. Masculinity is a beautiful and potent part of life and creation. At the same time, some of the great harms in the world are expressions of wounded, imbalanced, and untended male identity. This Jam is a place to delve into these dynamics with others who have shared roots in how they were raised and common choices about how to be men in the world as adults.
