What does it cost to participate?

Scholarships are available (on application) to cover the $3500 that it costs YET to conduct the Programme for each young person. These scholarships are to ensure young people experiencing genuine socio-economic disadvantage can feel encouraged to apply for a place on this Programme.

How long has YET been around?

YET was established in 1990 by Lloyd Hancock, and the YET Programme began in 1992. Up until 1999, YET was deliberately low-profile and small scale - allowing years of opportunity to refine Programme design and effectiveness.

Is YET run by the government or church?

YET is a wholly independent organisation, and while non-denominational and non-sectarian does give practical expression to certain universal values. YET does not seek or receive any government funding.
