I really enjoy working with the students - it’s incredible to see what they can accomplish in just one day, from brainstorming ideas to pitching a business.

Stacey Varsani

"I firmly believe that education should focus on learning how to learn, not just scoring. YFS shares this vision, making learning enjoyable, inspiring, and relevant to real-world challenges. By doing so, they nurture a love for problem-solving, curiosity, and growth mindset in young people."
Karen Tok
Award-Winning Exit Founder
"Through your life and your career, you live through so many experiences, what’s the point if you cannot share some of those experiences and learnings, especially to the next generation. So for me it is important to give back, and it is so inspirational to see someone learn from that so that it impacts their life and career.”
