How we Engage and Impact
Capacity Building
Webinars and in-person trainings on bespoke life skills, employability, digital, financial and leadership skills; innovation and entrepreneurship skills. “If sixty (60) percent of Africa’s youth are equipped with the right skills and given the right opportunities, this demographic group could help propel Africa onto a higher growth path” - AfDB 2015.
Events
Youth focused events creating an opportunity for the youth and stakeholders to convene, engage, discover, network and collaborate even across the borders.
Mentorship Program
Our mentorship programs allow knowledge transfer from accomplished career professionals and business leaders to the youth to help prepare them for success.
Advocacy
We engage in policy advocacy, research, thought leadership and strategic engagement for African young men and women; promote mindset/value re-orientation and awareness creation among the youth.
Partnership & Opportunities
We engage in strategic collaborations with relevant national and international stakeholders, agencies and organisations who share the vision for empowering African youth. We also the youth identify these opportunities. We also create and promote opportunities, source for and disseminate information on funding, grants, scholarships, apprenticeships, internships, exchange programs, competitions, events, awards and other opportunities for the youth.

We also host targeted programmes such as gender focused programs, situational based programs for teenage mothers; special counselling sessions (SpeCS); community-based development programs and we facilitate donations of educational materials and gadgets for digital education especially to schools and communities in underserved areas.
