Our Unique ‘SPECS’ For

Raising Young People

We exist to see a world where young people live full and fulfilled, spirit, soul & body.

THE GAP

Across the world, young people attempt to meet their needs and build competencies as they grow from childhood to adulthood: the needs for safety & structure, belonging & relationships, self-worth, independence, competence, and self-awareness.  The challenges of meeting these enormous needs holistically have resulted in a widening life skills gap in the developmental process of young people. 

OUR RESPONSE

Since 2013, Young Breeds has been providing value-based education, support and opportunities to bridge the life skills gap among young people as they grow unto adulthood so they can find identity, become productive and purposeful and as a result, make informed decisions in various areas of life.

“YDA has exposed me to many life skills which I think someone of age 50 may not even know. I want to say a big thank you to the Young Breeds for the great impact they have exerted on me, especially on social communication and computer skills.”
