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