Yayasan Cipta Mandiri (YCM) is a dynamic non-profit NGO which works to empower disadvantaged young people in Bogor, Indonesia. Since 2002, YCM has been providing free motivational alternative education programs to young people whose families often struggle to meet basic needs, let alone school or university fees.
