Global Potential becomes YES Akademia

In 2016, Global Potential changed its name to YES Akademia. YES Akademia provides high-potential urban and rural youth from low-income communities with the leadership and social entrepreneurial skills and perspectives that enables them to affect positive change in their lives, communities, and global community. YES Akademia France trains around 500 youth between the ages of 15 and 30 each year, not just from Paris’ “banlieues” but also from other neighborhoods in Paris and the rural zones of Haïti, Senegal, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and India.
