• Skills for Life Programme

    Enhancing confidence, resilience, and agency among young people

    YouthInvest considers life skills to be foundational and essential for young people in understanding, negotiating, and mediating everyday challenges and risks, and preparing them for adulthood as responsible, resilient, emotionally and socially adept productive citizens.

     

    The YouthInvest “Skills for Life Programme” integrates

    • Personal, social, and emotional skills

    • Critical awareness of gender and rights

    • Awareness of reproductive and sexual health, nutrition and personal hygiene

    • 21st-century century IT and financial literacy

  • Our approach

    • YouthInvest Foundation’s life skills programme focuses on equipping adolescents and youths with accurate, age-appropriate and culturally relevant information and skills that will help them to navigate day-to-day challenges and prepare for adult life.

    • We focus on building leadership, communication, decision-making and advocacy skills amongst vulnerable young people so that they can access development schemes and services.

    • We use a customisable curriculum that can be implemented either as a year-long programme or through periodic workshops/ boot camps, in school, college or community settings.
