The YESS Girls’ Movement is an international exchange programme, undertaken by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) in collaboration with NOREC, a Norwegian Government Agency.
From 2015 to 2020 the programme gave 211 Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from 17 different Member Organisations across Africa and the Asia-Pacific region the once in a lifetime opportunity to live and work in another country for six months. Another over 400 young women have had the opportunity to make a difference in their own countries even when it was not possible to travel because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the next 5 years (2022 to 2026) a further 300 young women will have the opportunity to grow, lead, learn and impact at local and international levels.
