Business Incubation

Aimed at offering information on businesses development at different stages through establishment of business incubation centers. Young people may also get training and knowledge on how to establish and manage new businesses.

Subjects to Citizens

S2C is a program launched by the African alliance of YMCA. Noticing that many young Africans were excluded from decision making processes and misused by politicians boosting their own agenda, the African alliance raised the issue of how to turn “subjects” into “citizens”.

Cultural & Arts Groups

Youth Peace Makers initiated cultural & arts groups for the youth who are in formal education and informal education to help them to advocate the challenges that faces the society through drama, traditional dances and songs.

Learning Centers

Learning is a life long journey. Learning skills is a different avenue that imparts exceptional and important knowledge to the learner for achieving certain objectives in life. Youth Peacemakers has engaged youths in skills training at different centers.
