Why youth empowerment matters

Young people face high unemployment and limited access to practical experience. With targeted coaching and safe spaces to learn, they become community problem-solvers and small business owners.

Our approach blends life skills, technical training, and mentorship so youth can earn, lead, and contribute to resilient local economies.

Youth empowerment tracks include:

  • Entrepreneurship, digital literacy, and financial planning workshops.
  • Green skills: regenerative agriculture, nursery management, and waste-to-value.
  • Mentorship, apprenticeships, and service projects that build real-world experience.
