Mission Statement
Creating Jobs and Employment for Youths in Africa!
Description
The Twenty-First Century African Youth Movement (AYM) is a beacon of hope for Africa's dynamic youth. Our core mission? Ignite opportunities! At AYM, we don't just talk change - we create it by generating jobs and fostering employment for the continent's burgeoning young population. Through our targeted initiatives, we're paving avenues for a prosperous, self-sufficient future, transforming the narrative of Africa's youth from seekers to achievers. Join us in molding the future leaders of Africa.
Our focus is to r espond to the huge unemployment and inactivity facing the vast majority of youth in Sierra Leone, a reality that reflects the African youth experience. AYM plans to expand its country-level support in Liberia, Ghana, and Gambia by the end of 2014.
Mobilizing Africa’s unemployed and underemployed youth is the key to the continent’s economic growth and stability. AYM works to mobilize marginalized youth through education, training, and creates entrepreneurial opportunities to help move communities away from poverty, disease, and hunger. AYM aims to establish personal empowerment and community resilience by energizing its critical youth population as change agents to reverse social and economic stagnation.
