Faith
The most important pillar: a close relationship with God. He guides every step we take, every decision we make and every life we touch.
The Leadership Program is where our students find their voice, lead real projects and leave a mark on their community. Here, leadership isn't studied — it's lived.
We believe leadership is not a title — it's a way of serving. Every member of the program grows through action, reflection and teamwork.
The most important pillar: a close relationship with God. He guides every step we take, every decision we make and every life we touch.
Integrity, empathy and responsibility behind every decision. A Yikanda leader knows themselves before guiding others.
We lead to serve. Every project is born from a real need in our school community and its surroundings.
We think differently. We design creative solutions through project-based work, collaboration and a growth mindset.
We measure success by the mark we leave: projects executed, people reached and leaders inspired.
Moments that tell our story: camps, workshops, fairs and celebrations. Drag to explore.
The generation that leads with heart.
Grit is built in the mud — literally.
Learning to rely on each other, eyes closed.
Leading activities for our youngest Yikandas.
Where ideas become plans, and plans become projects.
Every effort counts — and gets celebrated.
Confidence grows one microphone at a time.
Every project goes through stages: it's built, executed and launched to the community. Filter by status to explore them.
A space where program members with businesses and startups get to showcase them, learning entrepreneurship, marketing and finance along the way.
Launching in 2027: 10th and 11th graders receive and pass on everything they've learned to 6th and 7th graders, building a chain of leadership.
Every two years we travel to the communities of La Guajira, bringing support, sharing experiences and learning from their resilience.
High-school students accompany our youngest readers, strengthening bilingualism and the bonds between grades.
A TED-style series where students share ideas, stories and lessons with the whole school community.
A digital space made by students: school news, interviews and content in English and Spanish.
A recycling and environmental awareness campaign involving every grade, with eco-points and student-led brigades.
A photo album capturing our athletes and community at the intercollegiate tournaments — every jersey, every match, every victory worth remembering.

A tribute to the members who moved on from Yikanda but whose footprint still guides this program. These are the leaders who go out into the world to learn — and then come back to share it all with our community. Once a leader, always a leader.
