To make things fun and to reward participation, we have devised a Yakezie “Belts of Honor” system. All members start as White Belts and through the course of comments, member posts, and Yakezie Scholarship contributions gain points to move up the system.
It is our hope that all Yakezie members reach the level of Black Belt and convey their wisdom onto others. Those who have obtained Black Belt status gain priority status for all opportunities within the Network. They have earned it!
