Youth Empowerment Program

The Youth Empowerment Program is designed to address the current need of Nepalese youth in the country’s workforce. The 16-40 years age group is considered as the youth population in Nepal. This is a huge workforce, the government of Nepal could have nurtured, motivated and involved to achieve sustainable development of the country, rather than let it be a greatly missed opportunity.

Objective of the Project

The goal of the Youth Empowerment Program is to empower youth socially and economically through education, life skills and entrepreneurship development so that the youth can contribute to achieving sustainable development goals for Nepal.

Your Responsibilities

Educating youth on their rights and life skills – There is a gap between what youth learn in school and what they actually need in real life practice. So to enhance knowledge, life skills and positive attitude (KSA) level of youth, we conduct relevant training on their rights and life skills. We have identified a set of essential life skills like self-awareness, empathy, critical thinking, creative thinking, decision making, problem solving, effective communication, interpersonal relationships, coping with stress, coping with emotions and public speaking. We deliver all these life skills lessons through the youth clubs. So the youth clubs are a fundamental platform for youth to practice their rights and life skills. By inspiring youth for volunteering activity: The Nepalese youth can participate in year round volunteering activities with us free of charge. We inform youth to volunteer in our charity projects through on site presentations, websites and social media. By volunteering in charity activities, they can use their academic knowledge into real life practice, gain life skills and build confidence. Volunteering is a rewarding opportunity by which they can shape their future path.

By increasing employability through training on income generation and entrepreneurship development: We carry out a lot of activities for youth income generation and entrepreneurship development. For this, we collect the list of available youth from the disadvantaged and socially excluded communities. We deliver soft skills training on entrepreneurship and identify who is passionate for what kind of services and business skills. Some youth may be good for service related professions (such as teachers and nurses) and others for more hands on activities. For example, working in agriculture and dairy production, animal husbandry and beekeeping. As well as executing trade professions such as plumbing and electrics, mechanics, building, carpentry, solid plastering, wall and floor tiling, etc.
