Our values as a program and organisation stay true, approaching this challenge with humility, empathy, integrity, effectiveness and innovation. Our highest priority is supporting our tribe, particularly the well-being, safety and security of our team, collaborators, entrepreneurs and those in the communities in which we work. 

We've been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and are following guidance of public health officials. We're fortunate to have the ability to operate at full capacity when circumstances require physical distancing - our global team is working from homes around the world and on regular schedules. Which means we're here to help! 

Now more than ever, connecting, engaging and learning alongside your tribe is crucial - which is why we're putting together a series of guides and programs to help you stand tall through COVID-19.

Resiliency Program: From June-August 2020, we're supporting our alumni to respond to the challenges that COVID-19 has thrown their way. Through a structured 3 month support program, participants will participate in fortnightly community calls addressing a series of toolkits our team have developed and access tailored coaching, support with funding applications, connections to industry experts and most importantly, one another.

Online Community: yher Alumni can connect with one another right now via our Facebook group. You can also stay updated via our public Facebook page here. 

Relevant Content: We are also releasing a series of toolkits that address how to evolve your business and stay resilient during this challenge. To start, check out our Resiliency Toolkit, a handy resource produced by our organisation ygap.

Virtual Coaching Calls: Need some one-on-one? If you're part of our yher Alumni or our current Cohort, we're here if you'd like to bounce an idea, get some advice or even a pep talk.

Applications for our yher Africa program will be opening soon! 

The program is currently scheduled for February 2021 however, we are re-assessing the impact of this evolving pandemic on the timing of our program. Please be assured that the program will go ahead, with our schedule adjusted to accommodate travel restrictions and ensure participants feel safe, comfortable and empowered to travel and attend. 

If you'd like to apply, we'd love to hear from you - you can express interest in the program here and receive a notification as soon as applications open. For details, check out our program here.
