BUILDING
HAPPIER AND
HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES
through the power of sport and solidarity!

YSR aims to make a positive impact on people’s lives. Through sport, we bring people together and foster hope. Sport can break ethnic and religious barriers, creating a safe meeting space for cooperation between cultures where everyone participates and becomes a family.

We work together to build skills by promoting an environment conducive to continuous learning throughout our organization. Our teams are intentionally diverse – comprised of volunteers from the international, local, and displaced communities alike – so that we can learn from each other and become truly #StrongerTogether!

YSR Organisational Pillars

COMMUNITY BUILDING

Sport connects and builds bridges between people that, otherwise, may have never connected. YSR is a united and supportive family, and community is at the heart of all we do.

MENTAL & PHYSICAL WELLBEING

Through sport we build resilience, improving our physical and mental wellbeing. We create positive moments and work toward mutual goals.

INTEGRATION & INCLUSION

 At YSR, people from all over the world come together to do sport. As one we bridge cultural gaps and gain mutual understanding and respect.

EMPOWERMENT & SKILL BUILDING

We create leadership opportunities where displaced peoples can become coaches and we assist our teams in their personal development, providing a compassionate and safe learning community.

POSITIVITY & PERCEPTION

We shed light on the resilience, courage and diversity of our community. We share what people on the move can accomplish despite the adversity and harsh conditions they face.

“Yoga and Sport with Refugees is open to everyone who wants to do sport and find a sense of belonging. We welcome people from all nationalities, ethnicities, religions and cultures. At YSR, diverse people find common ground through yoga, sport and personal relationships. Our community and programs integrate and blend the best that each participant has to offer with the talents of other individuals.”

– Estelle Jean, YSR Founder
