YETS (Youth Empowerment Through Sports) is a comprehensive intervention program designed to support vulnerable adolescents in their journey towards social inclusion and personal development. Recognized as a ‘well-founded’ intervention by the Dutch Youth Institute, YETS targets youth aged 12 to 18 who face challenges across multiple life domains, such as academic difficulties, behavioral issues, or social isolation.<\/p>

The program operates within schools, integrating basketball training with various support services for vulnerable young people who often achieve low school results or play a lot of truancy<\/span>. Participants engage in structured sports sessions led by trained coaches who serve as mentors and role models. These sessions are complemented by homework assistance, life skills training, and discussions on current social topics, fostering a holistic approach to youth development.<\/p>

A key component of YETS is its emphasis on creating a supportive community. The program encourages social integration through group activities and community involvement, helping participants build positive relationships and a sense of belonging. Additionally, each participant has monthly one-on-one meetings with their coach, providing personalized guidance and unconditional support.<\/p>

YETS is implemented over a minimum of two school years, with at least two sessions per week, ensuring sustained engagement and long-term impact. The initiative has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing behavioral problems, improving school performance, and enhancing social participation among its participants.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
