Today at Mt. Sentinel Secondary School, we had the pleasure of meeting four organizers affiliated with Y.E.T.I.--no, not the abominable snowman from Tibet, but the Youth-Driven Empowerment Transition Initiative--an initiative that helps youth realize their dreams for sustainability, peace, and environment. Their website describes YETI as:
"YETI unleashes and supports the positive potential of youth, with youth, through arts-centered, animal & wilderness based intergenerational and multi-cultural experiential learning "opportunities". What YETI learns, YETI diseminates in view of bringing new strategies and resources to pre-existing issues in view of evolving policy to reflect changing community needs and wisdom."
The organizers met with students from the Youth Action Initiative at Mt. Sentinel to help them with their planning and their own youth driven initiative. The power of youth to harness their energy towards action can truly create meaningful and lasting change.
Many of us around the world are feeling a calling to reclaim our place in the natural world, and in so doing, to awaken our authentic power to co-create the future of our lives and shape the future of our world.
