The tentative calendar for 2021 is appended below. Program schedules are subject to change due to COVID. In case the pandemic continues, some additional programs might be cancelled and others might be moved online. In the non-pandemic world, YLAC programs are usually run once a year in each city. We hope to revert to offline programs in the second half of 2021.
We’ll update the calendar as plans develop and ideas materialize. New programs are currently being designed and YLAC is planning to expand its footprint to more cities. YLAC also works with organizations to co-develop customized programs/ initiatives. These programs are not pre-decided and therefore, not included in the calendar below.
Note: Applications to each program open about two-three months before the program kicks off. If you would like to be intimated when a program of interest is announced, please sign up below. Alternatively, you can follow us on social media (Facebook, Instagram) for updates.
