Youth Goals

 

Peer Support & Leadership

Leadership begins with ownership. Fundamentally each person leads a life. Even as simple as a decision to do or not do something, we are leading ourselves. A lifestyle of active ownership leads to more interactions among people and serves as a beginning of influencing the life of each other.

 

Fulfilment of Civic Responsibilities

Everyone is a citizen and a part of the society; a better knowledge of the civic responsibilities will enable more effective engagement in different aspects of civic right and the civic process.


Making a Difference in the Community

The very core purpose of creating social engagement, having a better understanding of civic responsibilities, and leading a more initiating lifestyle, is to make a better place we are living in, thus making a difference in the community.
