Mineski and the Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL) initiated the Youth Esports Program (YEP) to create a community for esports enthusiasts and help the youth find their “success” in gaming whether as a recreational hobby or a career path. 

YEP program director Marlon Marcelo said that as gaming continues to grow it has become “more vital” for them to create an environment for students to learn “responsibly” and “respectfully.”

“As gaming continues to grow in scale and popularity among our youth, it has become more vital for us to create safe spaces where students learn how to play responsibly and respectfully, understanding the many benefits that esports has to offer them,” he said.

“Gaming, after all, is part of a fun and balanced life. We at Mineski, through our grassroots programs, are committed to creating an inclusive esports environment that upholds the highest of standards and ensures all gamers get a fair and safe experience,” he added.

The program currently has 80 chapters or partner schools and has already secured sponsorship deals with several international brands.
