Community Youth Leader Development program (CYLD) is the updated design of the formerly called higher education preparation program which was operated as one of the major activities at BEAM since its establishment. The new design focuses on a wider range for capacity building, networking, youth empowerment, and community engagement activities as well as academic skill development for higher education. This program is a one-year program, aiming to prepare the students to pass the high school equivalency examinations and to apply for college and university.

BEAM’s Sor-Ror-Chor (NFE center, also called Community Learning Center) participated or led several Non-formal and Informal school activities in collaboration with the Thai Non-formal and Informal Education departments and other partner organizations. This is the result of collaboration with the Thai educational departments since BEAM was officially recognized as a standalone Sor-Ror-Chor by the Office of Non-formal and Informal Education, Thailand in 2016. Since then, BEAM has been serving its own community as a Community Learning Center, conducting lifelong learning activities for youth in the Chiang Mai area.
