We encourage children and young people to take control of their lives.  It involves addressing their specific situations and then taking action to improve their access to resources. Through this process, young individuals transform their consciousness by shaping their beliefs, values, and attitudes.

Here are some key points about youth empowerment:

 

1. **Purpose**   Youth empowerment aims to enhance the quality of life for young people. It provides them with the tools and skills needed to navigate challenges and create positive change.

 

2. **Methods**  These programs focus on building individual capacity while also contributing to broader community development.

​

3. **Dimensions of Empowerment**

            Enhances self-confidence, self-efficacy, and problem-solving skills. It helps youth acquire knowledge and believe in their abilities.

            Focuses on leadership development, communication improvement, and creating a supportive network within the community.

            Aims to provide resources through voluntary organizations, unions, and associations that advocate for the powerless.

 

4. **Skills and Competencies**  We aim to equip young individuals with essential competencies, including:

Positive Sense of Self / Self-Control / Decision-Making Skills / A Moral System of Belief / Pro-Social Connectedness

 

5. **Outcomes**  Contributes to intergenerational equity, civic engagement, youth councils, activism, and community involvement

Remember, youth empowerment goes beyond individual development;

it's about creating positive community change and fostering a sense of agency among young people!
