Workshop
Brother Jaymon writes why he thinks IYT exists and what the program means to him.
Brothers at IYT Hong Kingston recently participated in an inspiring workshop focused on understanding the roots and mission of IYT. The session guided brothers through a reflection of IYT’s core values—Service, Character, Liberation, and Teamwork—and encouraged them to connect each value to experiences. Students also shared their thoughts on why IYT exists and how the program impacts their lives, school, and community. The workshop not only deepened their appreciation for the program’s purpose but also strengthened the bond of brotherhood that continues to drive IYT’s mission forward.
