Youth Advisory Board

At Camp Ubuntu, we believe that each one of our children has something to offer, and that none of them, despite where they fall on the socio-economic ladder, are without problems or needs. We believe that we can work together to help heal each other, focusing on cross-cultural learning and understanding how others experience the world. It is with that in mind that we refreshed our Leadership in Training (LIT) program and launched our Youth Advisory Board (YAB) in 2016.
