Global Youth Leadership Network
GYLN is a platform for emerging and prospective youth leaders (from various DREAMS’
Chapters) to
learn and develop their leadership skills while networking with equally aspiring individuals
around the globe.
The youth of today are the leaders tomorrow. Our young generation needs to enhance their
skills and knowledge,
through which they can contribute to an organization’s growth and upliftment of society.
In the contemporary world, many young people find it hard in building meaningful
relationships with others,
with this initiative the youth will get an opportunity for self-growth and creating
meaningful relationships
with others in the network. By promoting the three pillars of GLYN: Leadership, Personal
Empowerment,
and Social Empowerment GYLN create a safe and holistic space for youth to share their
experiences and knowledge.
Global Youth Leadership Network focuses on connecting individuals transnationally to engage in multicultural interactions and promote new community service initiatives. GYLN also aims at sharing personal leadership strategies/experiences through which one can enhance individual leadership styles. Promote entrepreneurship and professional development is also an intention behind this project.
The Global Youth Leadership Network will have Monthly Meetings via a virtual
platform (Zoom/Google Meets).
The duration of the meetings will be 45-60 minutes. During the meetings,
members will discuss their personal experiences, knowledge, and ideas
(in the light of the topics that are being observed) to inspire others,
understand different perspectives, and share strategies to widen personal knowledge for
better decisions,
actions, and leadership.
Globally renowned leaders/speakers from different walks of life share their experiences and
knowledge to enlighten the overall experience of youth leaders through the activities and
meetings.
These sessions give real-life experiences to the members which helps them to use this
knowledge in
building strong foundations and coping with real-life situations.

GYLN is one of the best things that happened to me this year. I started as a regular mentor in a small chapter of Dreams, from there I became the coordinator of Dreams media and finally to GYLN. In GYLN, we have people coming from different walks of life, countries, cultures, languages, and qualifications. At GYLN I have an opportunity to show my talents, learn about new experiences and cultures. At times the team identifies my problems and tries to give me a better solution. I am really happy and proud to be a member of GYLN. The only suggestion I have is to bring up more activities and participants in the coming future.

I love the platform and I feel the platform provides a lot of opportunities to talk and grow. I’m comfortable speaking during each meeting and your team made us comfortable to interact with the participants. I truly enjoy the experience. I think each meeting is always fun because we discuss different topics and it gives us chance to bring new perspectives to situations.

As a whole, I think the GLYN platform is amazing. It gets young leaders to interact with one another on an international level. Can never have too much of that. It’s very great to have engaging discussions with each one of them.

My personal experience in the Global Youth Leadership Network has been nothing short of fantastic. It is such a privilege to be part of a worldwide movement that strives to empower young minds to be change-makers in this world. I have been able to cultivate new friendships, and explore interesting topics, all while having a safe space where I can express my thoughts and views without fear of being labeled as different. The GYLN promotes diversity and equity in our organization and welcomes all young leaders who qualify to join us on this journey. I have truly transformed into a better leader because of the GYLN because it fosters an environment in which one can truly thrive!.
My journey with DREAMS has paved the way for my Mastery, starting as a volunteer, progressing to a mentor, then a chapter coordinator, then an overall program coordinator, and now a part of the Global Youth Leadership Network (GYLN) as a national representative. The Success and fulfillment I have achieved in both personal and professional aspects of my life are a testament to my experiences in this organization. DREAMS has put me in touch with my skills and passion suitable for a career in psychology. Something that I would take away and would like to pass down to the next generations of the organization, in, Rev. Father Lijo’s words “We all have made sacrifices in our lives, and the time we invest in the organization is one such sacrifice that we choose to make. It is important to make them count.” We thrive on commitment and volunteerism
