We believe that when girls are empowered, they are inspired to break down deep-rooted stereotypes, become leaders, and to forge a more inclusive world for themselves. Our Your Time programme was designed to empower girls and young woman in exactly this way. The programme supports girls to become leaders in competitive sports in their schools. They choose the activities that inspire them, and how and when they want to take part. Taking ownership of their learning boosts confidence and teaches girls the leadership skills that are transferrable beyond education and into employment. Young girls look up to their peers and take inspiration from people like them. Through a mixture of peer-to-peer support, e-learning, and practical event delivery, girls can discover the barriers faced by their peers to taking part in sport, before creating their own event designed to tackle those issues and encourage participation. We want there to be thousands of Lionesses, Roses and young women making their mark in the sporting world up and down the country. Will you join us in this movement?

🌍 Empowering Youth for a Brighter Future 🌍 Reflecting on my time at the Model Youth United Nations event back in university, I’m reminded of the immense potential within young people to shape our world. Events like these showcase the power of youth voices, perspectives, and ideas to create real change—not just within our communities but globally. When young people are given a platform, the results are extraordinary. 🌟 They bring fresh ideas, bold solutions, and the drive to make a difference. Empowering youth isn’t just about personal growth; it’s about creating a ripple effect that benefits entire societies. If we can keep encouraging youth to dream bigger, speak louder, and engage deeply, our nations and our world will only continue to move forward. #YouthEmpowerment #Opportunity #ChangeMakers #GlobalFuture #Leadership

🌟 Empowering the Next Generation: The Power of Youth Engagement 🌟 As we navigate through rapid changes in the world, it's clear that youth engagement is more important than ever. Across the globe, young people are stepping up to drive innovation, sustainability, and social change. In my journey with organizations like Youth and Social Development (YSD), I've witnessed firsthand how empowering youth with the right skills, knowledge, and opportunities can create ripple effects that positively impact entire communities. 👥 Youth Empowerment: It’s about giving young people a voice, offering them opportunities for leadership, and encouraging them to take action. When we invest in youth development, we shape the leaders of tomorrow. 🌍 Social Accountability: Equally important is ensuring that youth are equipped to hold themselves and others accountable, fostering transparency, and integrity within their communities. 💡 Key Takeaways: Encourage active participation from young people in decision-making processes. Offer mentorship, resources, and platforms for youth to grow. Promote youth leadership through local and international platforms. Let’s continue to empower the youth and build a future that is sustainable, equitable, and full of promise. #YouthEmpowerment #SocialAccountability #Leadership #YouthDevelopment #Innovation

As we celebrate Youth Day, it’s important to recognize that the role of young people extends far beyond symbolic gestures or token invitations to high-level discussions. Youth should not just be included at the start of initiatives; they must be empowered to participate fully in key decision-making processes. Too often, we see young people invited to the table simply to tick a box, without being given the space to truly contribute. In this digital era, youth are more than just participants—they are the creators and innovators driving progress. Equipped with digital skills and fresh perspectives, they are uniquely positioned to tackle the challenges of our time. However, it’s not enough to just provide training. Youth need intentional mentorship that goes beyond the classroom, guiding them as they navigate the complexities of leadership and social impact. This kind of support helps ensure that their potential is fully realized, and that they are prepared to take on the challenges they face. As we look to the future, let’s commit to more than just inviting youth to the table. Let’s ensure they have a real voice in shaping the policies and decisions that will impact their lives and communities. Together, we can create an environment where young people are not only heard but are also empowered to lead. #YouthDay #YouthEmpowerment #DigitalEra #MentorshipMatters #Leadership #MWF2024

Where Are Tomorrow's Leaders? As a first-time attendee at UKREiiF I found the level of expertise and insight shared by the speakers inspiring. But as someone who is passionate about diversity and inclusion, I couldn't help but notice the lack of young faces. In an industry that prides itself on forward-thinking and future-proofing, the silence of young disruptors is deafening. Are we truly creating a future that reflects the needs and aspirations of the next generation? Or are we inadvertently shutting them out of the conversation? Youth inequality is a pressing issue that demands our attention. As we design, develop and invest in the spaces of tomorrow, we have a responsibility to consider the needs of future generations. Events such as UKREiiF have a platform to make a big difference but is it being wasted?

I had an opportunity to attend a webinar hosted by #LBS on the occasion of International Youth Day 2024, with the theme being "Innovating for Impact: Youth at the Forefront of Sustainable Development." The Key take away from the webinar: ·      Engage the #young people for the leadership programs to act as catalyst for the community’s uplift. ·      Allow #youth to come up to the table to reflect their thoughts on how they perceive the problems and what solution shall be deployed for sustainable development. ·      #Youth to invest their time & energy for developing solutions for #sustainabledevelopment. ·      #Youth need to rise with the right things that can be #valueadded for the community. ·      Be creative for #innovative solutions. ·      Government shall not be the only reliance to come up with the solution of all our problem, ·      The solution we are working on, shall not be limited to our geographical boundaries and specific communities, that shall be extended to cover the global issue. ·      Encourage the deployment of #volunteers for the leading projects and witness the traditional way of doing things & explore solutions to make things #smartly. ·      Leaders to work on youth to make their #Vison & #Goal clear. ·      Passion of #GivingBack! #InternationalYouthDay2024
