Youth Empowered Action (YEA) Camp
About us
Want to change the world? YEA Camp is the place for you!
Youth Empowered Action (YEA) Camp is a unique summer leadership camp for 12-17 year-old change-makers who want to make our world a better place.
Founded in 2009, YEA Camp is week-long sleep-away camp with sessions in beautiful locations in CA, OR, and NY. At YEA Camp, campers choose an issue of importance to them (for example, many campers focus on climate change, racism, homophobia, homelessness, or animal rights), and at camp they build the knowledge, skills, confidence, and community to take action on that issue once they get home. Oh, and YEA Camp is super fun!! We make art, play games, have dance parties, and make really close friends - and often get closer than friends from home.
Youth who have participated in our programs report that YEA Camp was one of the most fun, memorable and life-changing experiences they have had, and, with YEA's support, campers have gone on to start school clubs, plan fundraisers for nonprofits, change school policies, and so much more to make a difference on causes that matter to them.

Rachel A. asked:Philly: I'm looking for volunteer opportunities as a way to spend my free time. Maybe mentoring teenagers? Tutoring kids in math? Anyone know of any good organizations?
Andrew P. replied:Not long term and in MA (a few states a way from you, right?), but I think you would be an amazing counselor for YEA Camp, mentoring teenagers on activism. Just sayin'... www.yeacamp.org
