 Youth Empowerment Overview

The aim of VIN’s Youth Empowerment program is manifold. First, it seeks to prepare Nepali adolescents for their future by enhancing their social and professional skills. Secondly, it strives to allow them to develop the confidence needed to deal with the important issues affecting both themselves and their community. Finally, the program organizes and coordinates activities for youth and adults alike in children’s clubs, women’s clubs, and in the community.

In short, it is the mission of the program to encourage youths to be a substantial part of VIN’s endeavor to bring about changes in the lives of children and their communities, with the development of important life and career-oriented skills occurring along the way. Volunteers are warmly welcome to contribute in any way possible (e.g. facilitating programs and providing materials) to strengthen local community children and adolescents. With your assistance, we can achieve the goal of widespread social responsibility amongst Nepal’s younger generation.
