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
