Yessin Mtiri, YLE's Youngest Leader.

Yessin Mtiri, a very loyal member of Young Leaders Entrepreneurs since the beginning of its time, has been with us in almost all our projects. He is responsible for our social media and press release, also the youngest of all of us as he is only 19 years of age.

A hard working boyscout as he was since young age, he knows the power of team work and the honor of a promise made in the name of brotherhood and solidarity.

Yessin started out as a participant in our American Corner Leadership Club. He was with us in the New Generation Initiative project, the One Billion Rising Campaign and both editions of The Countdown: Build Tunisia in 20 hours in Tunis and in Gafsa.

 Yessin had his face painted on 14th February, the One Billion Rising day, for the scene to be acted down Lahbib Bourguiba Avenue! Always ready for anything!

That's also him working with his assigned team during The Countdown: Build Tunisia in 20 hours first edition.

This photo was taken upon YLE's participation in the USAID event Bridge to Democracy in Hammamét.

He has well established himself through his immaculate hard work, perseverance and unfaltering diligence. He is an activist who never misses a chance to say "Yes! I can and I will!" He had taken part in many civic society actions and activities, always learning and exploring the meaning of activism in our society and taking baby steps towards Social entrepreneurship and leadership. 

YLE is proud to have him as a member, and more proud to see him go on his own journey abroad to learn more and grow more as an engaged student! Yessin was chosen as a finalist in the Thomas Jefferson etudent exchange program, along with two of our YLE members. YLE will definitely miss him for he will leave big shoes for someone else to fill! He will undoubtedly make us proud for no one is better than him at representing the spirit and nature of the YLE family.

In more ways than one, Yessin Mtiri has proven to be a promising Leader and a great friend.
