What Is YOL?

YOL is a corporate learning and wellbeing company.

We deliver transformative learning experiences for professionals and teams that combine wellbeing training and immersive, mindfulness-based service engagement as a foundation for highly impactful leadership development.

Drawing on evidence-based science, our programs are offered online, offline, on-site and off-site, and designed to elevate compassion, performance, and productivity.

Companies work with YOL to accelerate the development of high potential and high-performing talent; align diverse, distributed, and intact teams for success; and prepare the next generation of women in leadership, among other use cases.

In addition, we work hand in hand with local community-based organizations and NGOs on issues of poverty, health and environmental preservation. We cultivate immersive long-term partnerships and skill transfers between our participants and members of the community, a win-win for everyone.

I can’t imagine anyone leaving here and not feeling more connected to themselves, more passionate about what their work is and more ready to go.

“My experience with YOL taught me to stretch personally and professionally while continuing to be my authentic self"
Elizabeth Pierce, Global Director of Learning + Development, Eventbrite

It was an outstanding experience with a great bunch of people. I was asked to describe the experience for (my company’s) website. And of course that just extended the experience mentally for me just a bit longer, stretching that soul-satisfying feeling a few more days.
Robert Mayer, Senior Systems Specialist, Genentech

I was amazed at how open and vulnerable the group was and how open and vulnerable I was…it was eye-opening
Michelle Dakin, Senior Talent and Experience Lead, IDEO.org

Service Approach

Our approach to service is rooted in three central themes, with one primary objective: Lasting impact

Self-Awareness & Education: Meaningful service work begins by looking within and asking ourselves: “Why do I want to volunteer?” and “What do I know about the issues we’ll address through service?”

Direct Service Projects: Empowered with our collective skills and knowledge, we engage in on-site service projects geared towards meeting the immediate needs and long-term goals of our partner organizations.

Reflection: Sharing our insights, we come together to consider the following: “What did we learn about ourselves, others, the world?” and “How can we continue to support the needs of the community and service partner?”

Forget Me Not Farm, Santa Rosa, CA

Since 1992, Forget Me Not Farm has helped thousands of at-risk children and youth break the cycle of abuse. The farm offers animal-assisted and horticultural therapeutic activities that provide a haven for children, plants and animals to bond, learn and heal with one another. YOL volunteers are laying the groundwork for Forget Me Not Farm’s first Farm Stand: a project providing employment training and opportunities to at-risk foster youth from harvest to sales.
