YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Developing the youth is encouraging young people to take charge of their lives. Our youth development drive is captioned under the initiative, BEYOND LIMITS. Beyond Limits is a graduate empowerment scheme where both graduates and undergraduates are exposed to limitless opportunities in entrepreneurship, ICT and farming. This initiative aims to improve their quality of life and challenge them to do more with their lives, and not let the university certificate place a limit on their potential for greatness. Our approach leverages the different interdependent dimensions of youth empowerment; psychological, economic, community and social. Psychological development enhances their consciousness and props their belief in self-efficacy, awareness and knowledge of existing challenges and possible solutions. It ultimately helps to create self-confidence, build capacity and give them the skills to acquire solution-proffering knowledge.
Community development emphasizes community enhancement through the leadership development of young potential leaders, creating a network of support, improve communication so the community can address its concerns. The teaching of entrepreneurial skills is the main focus of economic development. Taking ownership of their assets and having income security also comes along. The social inclusion of youth in their respective communities and their literacy, along with helping them find resources to be proactive in their communities is a primary focus of social development. When young and astute minds are empowered and encouraged to go beyond their limits, a developed and progressive society becomes the outcome
