Overview
Brief Program Summary: Your Life. Your Story (YLYS) is an evidence-based, interdisciplinary,
and community-based youth development program. It is a one-week summer day camp where 30
Latino youth experience a resilience-building curriculum, followed by a selection of art and
movement-based activities to explore their identity develop goals for the future and identify
barriers and opportunities. Expert professionals from the community lead the day-long activities.
College-aged mentors work with teens to enhance learning, act as role models, and serve as a

problems but also helping them reach their goals.
