VIN’s Youth Empowerment program aims to empower local youths in the Jitpur community by educating them on their rights and life skills, creating career development opportunities and stimulating community volunteering. VIN has implemented various trainings and initiatives by setting up a Youth Club in the community, and providing continuous support of their activities. Some of the youth activities and accomplishments over the past year are highlighted here.
Youth Clubs
Through VIN, the youth of Jitpurhedi have been mobilized into setting up Youth Clubs. These youth clubs participate in many programs to transfer different skills and knowledge for their development. The clubs also organize the youth to conduct development programs in their community. Enhancing the capabilities of the youth can assist in the nation’s growth in productivity.
English Language Class in Youth Clubs
A VIN international volunteer provided English language training to 60 members of the Jitpurphedi youth clubs. This enabled the youths to communicate in English in written and verbal form.
Human Rights, Peace and Development Training in Youth Clubs
Human rights, peace and development training was provided by VIN to 10 members of the youth club. The training was conducted in a discussion/participation forum, discussing the concept of human rights and their responsibility towards the nation. The training on peace and development helped to build positive thinking within the group.
Project Planning and Proposal Writing training in Youth Clubs
Chogaun Youth Club wished to construct a building for the operation of their activities. VIN provided training in project planning and proposal writing to help facilitate the planning of this project and the submissions of proposals for funds. 12 members of the youth club participated in this training.
