F rom the uniqueness of his name "Cleous," to the content of his written materials, he brings a notable difference; one that is worth taking note of. Born February 1, 1978, on the island of Jamaica, Cleous Young spent most of his childhood growing up in Jamaica. Growing up with five women in the household, Young had to search elsewhere to find the teachings that a young man growing up on the island would have received. It was older male friends that taught Young life's fundamentals; such things as swimming, playing marbles, chess, riding a bike, playing soccer, cricket, and other activities that island boys would partake in. Young adapted to the learning of these things very quickly and soon he was able to teach those who were younger. While Young learned these things outside the home, his home training never departed from him. Good manners, educational values, house chores, morals, the benefits of having God in his life, were a few of the values Young was taught at home; courtesy of the wisdom of his Grandmother.

As an adult, a teacher and a person with deeply rooted spiritual base, Cleous Young focuses his attention on creating literary masterpieces for children, which becomes a reversible role for him. "I learned most of the things growing up because an adult outside the family taught me. Now I feel I have the responsibility to teach someone else. This is somewhat a part of the cycle of life; each one teaches one..." are words from Young's philosophy. But Young wants to go beyond just teaching one. The children of the world are his targeted market, as each is equipped with a soul that is pure. One that Young hopes to add to their essence and help them grow sturdily.

Young has polished the concept of what his purpose is in today's society and is ready to unleash such potentials. There is also a moment that everyone waits patiently to see something unique, something great; your wait is over as Cleous Young's is up next; in the Purpose of the CY Effect.
