Avid Speaker and children’s author, Cleous Young is a man with a dedicated vision. Born in St. Thomas, Jamaica, Young is a former school teacher who became inspired to embrace his literary gift and desire to educate by founding the Non-Profit Organization The Hope-Full Fountain and authoring children’s books. His published works include The Prophetic Artist, The Seasonal Celebration, the Magical Rug and the new interactive eco-friendly CD-Rom, The Mountain of Miracles. The one of a kind interactive CD-Rom is Young’s newest God given creation that he has offered to the market; something that is different from the ordinary paperback or hardcover.
Young’s personal credo is that ‘a mustard seed of faith’ can grow into a forest if time is invested into nurturing and nourishing it. It is this philosophy and his personal experiences which he credits with making him the person he is today and the person he will become tomorrow. He seeks to educate others of this proven testimonial manner, particularly children through his inspirational messages.
Young first became interested in writing for children after penning the love poem The Prophetic Artist, which later inspired his first book of the same name. His admiration for the innocence of children made authoring children’s works seem like a natural transition and since that time he has developed a strong commitment to making a difference in the lives of young people.
Young has given several inspirational workshops for parents, children, students, community leaders and more. In each of his workshops, he aims to teach lessons of faith, community and appreciation. Young has recently developed what he calls, The Mountain of Miracles Movement. ‘Every great change in history has come from a movement,’ and Young has seen this by observing the history of some of the greats, which includes Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Martin Luther King, Bob Marley and Mohandas ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi, just to name a few. The Mountain of Miracles Movement which is also known as the EIH Movement, incorporates three foundational facets; Educating, Inspiring and giving back Hope. Three elements of necessity that Young firmly believe should be a part of our life’s pyramid.
Cleous Young currently resides in Pennsylvania where he works on growing his Non-Profit Organization while overseeing his newly formed for profit company Cleous Young & Associates, CYA. He plans to use the CYA Company to pride the fostering growth of his Non-Profit Organization. Young is also available for speaking engagements and workshops and can be contacted at 215-715-2323 or via email at iam@thecyeffect.com.
