Annual Alumni Activities in Lebanon

Field Day 3

The YES alumni in Lebanon are building long lasting traditions together.

For the fourth year in a row, they came together for the annual YES retreat. This time, over 100 alumni attended!

They spent September 17-18, 2016 together at Chtaura Park in Bekaa, and used the time to get to know one another and to develop their soft skills. First, they did icebreaker activities to help introduce YES alumni from various years to one another. Two training sessions also took place during the event, a session on emotional intelligence and another on public speaking.

For several years now, YES alumni have also been volunteering to help with the Access field day at the American University of Beirut. This year, 36 YES alumni turned up! 

They came together on September 25 to help lead 13 games, including jump rope and a basketball shootout. The YES alumni used their experiences in the United States to help guide Access students through various American games.
