Youth empowerment: The Power of Mindset

“Authentic empowerment is the knowing that

you are on purpose, doing God's work,

peacefully and harmoniously”

- Wayne Dyer

the period between childhood and adult age

the qualities of vigour, freshness, or

immaturity as associated with being young

Give (someone) the authority or power to do

something

Make (someone) stronger and more

confident, especially in controlling their life

and claiming their rights:

is the outcome by which youth, as

change agents, gain the skills to

impact their own lives and lives of

other individuals, organizations and

communities.

Youth are the generations to come, and they

truly are the most important building blocks

in society

Problems are always prevalent and changing

anywhere you go. Whether it be problems

with drugs, alcohol, bullying or anything,

they are never ending, and are slowly

expanding into the younger ages

HELP BE THE WAY TO HELP.

WHAT DO WE DO?

Youth empowerment at the individual

level is exercising power over ones life by

being skilled, critically aware, and active in

creating community change

Youth empowerment at

the organizational level is the

implementation of a culture, vision,

and system that supports youth

empowerment at the individual level.

Youth empowerment as a Peer Support

Facilitator is empowering our individual self

and through others to fully develop our true

potential and act as change agents to the

betterment of our society

is the sentiment young people feel towards

a particular person, activity, place or

outcome. It has been a focus of youth

development, public policy and social

change movements.
