We believe that when youth are equipped with leadership skills to address common social problems, they become active citizens and agents of change.

 

Together with our partners, we have raised over $100M in projects to transform youth into leaders, innovators, and change-makers.

 

We have survived a turbulent youth sector, working in some of the toughest places, to reach the most disadvantaged youth, defend their rights, and help them fulfil their potential.

For more than twenty years, we have survived a turbulent youth sector, working in some of the toughest places to reach the most disadvantaged youth, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfil their potential.

Africa’s youth have the potential to be a tremendous force driving lasting economic and social change that benefits their communities, their families, and themselves. We are catalysing this potential by reaching the youth at the right time so that they can proactively shape our rapidly changing world.

Get Involved, help us

achieve the youth agenda.
