International Footprint
To date, YCAB has seeded six international projects related to education and women empowerment.
Our Role
Ever since YCAB International Inc. was established in 2006, we are committed to expand our programs to less developed countries. We look for opportunities and program partners who have an alignment with our mission, that is, to empower youth through a holistic development program.
For this reason, YCAB Foundation seeds programs in a few other countries, partnering with The British Council’s Global ChangeMakers. Through this program, YCAB is able to reach out and empower youths from all over the world. To date, YCAB has seeded six international projects related to education and women empowerment. The unique part is, all of these international program are led by young people from their respective country.
