YES Headquarters
Many youth have been reached through the implementation of several programs in Bhutan. Through the Volunteer Day Series program, various community service days and clean up projects were held in order to make the need for service more salient. In the education sector, through the School Drop Out program, YES Bhutan has been providing support and help for high school drop outs and their parents to help ensure a productive life. Also, the Inter School Quiz Competition program has been created to foster learning and the importance of knowledge. The Local Business Community and YES Bhutan created the Workshop on Youth & HIV/AIDS program, which taught 1000 youth about condom usage, testing, transmission, and prevention. Through the Sporting Programs, various sporting events have been organized throughout Bhutan to foster team building and cooperation between youth. Reaching 500 youth, the National Day Events program was a series of events, workshops, and markets to showcase youth skills, crafts, and job opportunities.

Published on inspirational articles in the National newspaper called “kuensel” to inspire and encourage fresh graduates who are not willing to take the job posted at the rural areas. The article titled “ DYT post, an opportunity” says that fresh graduates are the future representatives and if they work under District Development Commission chairman they gain considerable experience and ideas about the rural areas. This experience and knowledge would help them to look for faster means of developmental process in the rural areas.
The main objectives of this article was to make our graduates/youth to rethink about their strategies and give their second thought to such an opportunity working in rural areas which they are missing due to misconceptions of th post and get employed themselves in the rural areas.
