Our amazing journey began in 2004 with a dream and a mission. Now almost 15 years later we are looking back with wonder and excitement at what has gone because it shows us what can be. We have been joined by many different partners, supporters, donors and learners, all who have left an indelible mark on everyone involved with YLED.
