reckon with in building a better society. It is crucial to provide opportunities for youths to develop their talents through
meaningful participation in their communities. We aim to work with local organizations, businesses, government, schools,
churches and other sectors of society to provide opportunities for youths to discover their talents, develop the talents, deploy
the talents and gain appropriate leadership skills that they need to be agents of change in their communities.
