The Global Youth Village: An International Summer Camp Exchange Program for High School Students

Youth Leadership Training

We hold in high esteem the creativity, idealism and energy that young people bring to every situation. We create an environment in which you can develop a vision, take on new roles, and explore the many faces of cooperation. Taking responsibility is exciting and rewarding! You will choose a project which you would like to be a part of. Your project team then determines ways to effectively carry out your mission, develop action plans, and delegate roles and responsibilities among yourselves.

At GYV, we believe experience is the best teacher.

Projects include:

  • Organizing environmental action project
  • Creating a memory journal.
  • Coordinating debates
  • Organizing sports tournaments (cooperation vs competition)
  • Delivering peer education sessions (ex.: street theater, nightly news)
  • Producing evening programs and talent shows
  • Sparking discussion with a wall mural
  • Community Action Day in the local area
