SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, is supporting the creation of local youth leadership retreats aimed at empowering the next generation of changemakers. SayPro understands that youth need dedicated time, space, and mentorship to discover their strengths and cultivate leadership skills. These retreats provide structured programs on communication, teamwork, civic engagement, and personal development. SayPro ensures every retreat is inclusive, accessible, and tailored to local contexts. Through these immersive experiences, SayPro nurtures confident, community-minded youth who are ready to lead with integrity and vision, building strong foundations for sustainable development and local transformation.
SayPro retreats bring together youth from diverse backgrounds to engage in dialogue, collaborative projects, and cultural exchange. With Peace Corps involvement, SayPro offers mentorship from experienced facilitators and global volunteers, exposing youth to new ideas and perspectives. SayPro emphasizes peer learning and problem-solving activities that build critical thinking and innovation. Participants also explore local issues and create action plans to address them within their communities. SayPro provides ongoing support after the retreats, ensuring the momentum leads to real-world impact. These experiences build leadership from the ground up, empowering young people to take active roles in shaping their futures.
SayPro carefully selects retreat locations that reflect natural beauty and local culture, providing an inspiring environment for growth. Participants benefit from outdoor activities, group challenges, and reflective sessions that enhance self-awareness and confidence. SayPro ensures that gender equality, inclusivity, and mental wellness are integrated into every part of the program. With Peace Corps collaboration, SayPro promotes a culture of volunteerism, mutual respect, and civic responsibility. These leadership retreats are not just events—they are starting points for lifelong engagement and service. SayPro believes that youth are not just future leaders; they are leaders today.
In the future, SayPro plans to establish a network of youth retreat alumni who will lead regional initiatives, mentor new participants, and share success stories. SayPro will also develop digital materials to expand access to leadership development for those who cannot attend in person. With Peace Corps support, SayPro remains committed to unlocking the potential of youth through immersive, empowering experiences. SayPro’s leadership retreats build resilient, passionate individuals who go on to create positive change in their communities and beyond.
