The out-of-school youth are a vulnerable population with intricate needs. Many face muted employment prospects and uncertain futures. The major problems this category of youth is confronted with include lack of adequate education and employment, exposure to risky behaviors, and lack of participation in decision-making. On our Shoulders and through this program, is an agenda to empower the youth. Mentoring will provide these youths with emotional support, encourage them to be more involved in community work and help as they transition from school to the corporate world. Mentors will offer friendship, guidance and positive role models while instilling the social skills needed by the out of school youth.
