YA Accelerator

A 6-week online accelerator programme designed to teach you how to escape the high school rate race, unlock personal agency and captivate an audience. You will be provided with free workshops, notes, mentorship and feedback along the duration of the programme.

Each participant will also be matched with a mentor from the YA100.

The core of this programme requires you to complete a self-directed endeavour that falls under one of the 3 YA tracks:

  1. STEM (Deliver a research paper or a working prototype)
  2. Service Learning (Conduct the first act/session of community service)
  3. Arts and Humanities (Deliver a research paper or completed creative work in any medium)

YA100

The YA100 is the official list of mentors recruited by YA to guide you along your journey with us.

Just for you, we've recruited 100 trailblazing individuals from Asia, including talented STEM researchers from MIT and Harvard, founders of startups and advocacy projects, and creative artists sharing their work worldwide.
