Dear YESS Alumnae and the wider YESS Family, It’s my greatest to pleasure to present to you this Alumnae Guild Strategy 2024 to 2026. From only 11 young women in 2015; to 266 in 2023 and expected to increase to 450 alumnae by 2026, the YESS Alumnae Guild is truly a promising and growing force to reckon with; particularly on speaking about and taking action on issues that are important to girls and young women.
My hope and honest desire is that all the YESS Alumnae have that proud sense of connection to the YESS Girls’ Movement; and that they continue to use every opportunity to keep the Girl Guiding & Girl Scouting Fire burning.
This strategy is carefully designed to: foster the sense of ‘YESS family’ connection among the alumnae; ensure that you are all guaranteed a strong support system in most areas of their lives (including personal development and career) and that you have a sustained passion, enthusiasm and opportunity to give back to the YESS Girls’ Movement; and the wider Girl Guiding Movement through an inclusive & flexible engagement plan.
Special acknowledgement and appreciation goes to l the different stakeholders who have given their valuable input to this strategy; and to all those who will we put this strategy to life with a renewed focus to keep us going in our journey of a lifetime as a YESS Family and very importantly as international change agents on issues important to girls and young women.
