"YEP program provides me with a lot of knowledge about the outdoor environment. I've learned some outdoor skills to survive in the forest also. The trainers at YEP have good explanations with real examples followed by practices. I love how supportive and caring everyone is."

"Participating in YEP’s program and camps has significantly changed my perspective on overcoming challenges, stepping out of my comfort zone, and enhancing my outdoor skills. A pivotal moment for me was the KAYAK camp in August 2023, where I faced a risky situation that taught me the importance of decision-making and trusting others, particularly through the guidance of the facilitator. Additionally, I developed a keen interest in climate change, especially regarding its effects on livelihoods and ecosystems around Tonle Sap Lake, and I became aware of the struggles people face and the urgent need for effective action."

"I used to camp just for fun without considering the environment, but now I actively think about my impact on nature during travels. Previously reliant on friends for outdoor skills, joining YEP has taught me how to build a fire, set up a tent, and pack my backpack independently. YEP has expanded my perspective, promoting acceptance of diversity, respect for different viewpoints, environmental awareness, and empathy for nature. I've also improved my reflection skills regarding my surroundings. As a youth leader and facilitator in an NGO, I've gained creative ideas to inspire and educate young people about environmental stewardship."

"Having participated in YEP activities, I believe it has been an invaluable experience for both my personal growth and career advancement. One significant aspect was an online training in 2021 that taught me about leadership and communication, emphasizing that these skills are accessible to everyone, not just those in high positions. Another transformative experience was the "Reflection in Nature" camp, where I realized that life is not just about fulfilling basic needs and chasing after jobs and money. The camp allowed me to reflect on what truly brings happiness and peace, highlighting the importance of connecting with nature beyond its visual appeal, as it offers us much more than we often recognize."

"I love that this training covered a lot of things about the environment. Furthermore, I love how we were offered other materials to help us learn more about the environment by ourselves. From joining this training, I got a chance to feel more connected to nature and appreciate it more."
