By designing and running a scheme to help young people achieve their potential, mentors are required to consider and accept a joint responsibility for their society. YES believes that their actions, and those of the young participants, can positively affect society.
By promoting cultural diversity and social inclusion, YES strives to create a new approach to what culture means and how people in Northern Ireland choose to represent themselves.
It hopes to challenge the narratives which people have been asked to buy into for too long, which only partly describe the reality. For society to create these new narratives, the citizens (in this case young people) have to feel able to decide for themselves what their culture means to them.
