YNW Beginnings
Youth for a New World was founded by Mike Seymour in Fall, 2004 after launching the AfricaAmericaExchange-which came out of the partnership between Mike and his Burundian colleague and friend, Prosper Ndabishuriye. Prosper is founder and General Coordinator of Youth in Reconstruction of a World in Destruction, a Burundian non-governmental peace-making organization begun in 1994 by bringing former Hutu and Tutsi antagonists together to reconcile and forgive through rebuilding homes and learning to live together.
Their synchronistic meeting at a conference on Whidbey Island in Fall 2003, their broad vision for peace in Burundi, Africa and the world and the call to work with young people brought both Mike and Prosper to recognize a divine appointment in their meeting and working together.
