Youth Leadership for Change

Programme Vibrant Youths
Country Kenya
Year 2024

This project trains and mentors young people to lead peer projects on safety, inclusion, and gender equality within their communities. Youth participants develop leadership skills, design community interventions, and mobilize their peers. The programme recognizes young people as agents of change and provides them with tools and support to make a difference.

Training sessions combine leadership development with practical skills in facilitation, project design, and community mobilisation. Young people learn by doing, supported by experienced mentors who provide guidance while encouraging youth-led decision making and creativity.

The peer-to-peer approach ensures messages about safety, inclusion, and equality reach young people in accessible and relevant ways. Youth leaders become role models and change-makers within their communities, inspiring others to get involved and take action.
