Yaroslav was born in Ternopil. Here he finished his studies in the history class of the lyceum school, after which, naturally, he obtained a full higher education at the history faculty of the Ternopil Pedagogical University. Since 2018, he has been actively involved in volunteering at an NGO. 2020 can be considered the year of his informal entry into the ranks of the organization because since that time he has been inextricably linked with the founders of the Ternopil branch of the USF, who also turned out to be his old friends even on a part-time basis. At the Leadership Program of 2023, he was finally established in the USF as a full-fledged activist, after almost three years of active support, which included both the co-organization of events of the Ternopil branch and a lecture at one of them.

«An expression of freedom is the awareness of one’s subjectivity concerning the surrounding reality, as a consequence – the awareness of the ability to make changes in this reality by exerting volitional efforts. USF is precisely an environment that accumulates people with similar views and similar intentions, so why not try to unite your aspirations with like-minded people?»
