 Our role is to bridge the gap between young people and the labor market. We work with both informal and formal sectors to raise the quantity and quality of career opportunities.

As such, The Youth Café seeks to provide an opportunity to the youth by addressing the lack of relevant work experience, skills, and competencies including behavioral skills needed for employment by engaging training providers and private sector employers to offer training and work experience to targeted youth in the formal and the informal sector.

Our Skills Development Program finds its uniqueness in being incredibly agile and user-centric. We focus our efforts on building holistic, individualized, experiential learning programs that create behavioral change in the long term. In the past two years, we have changed 5,000 lives, impacted over 100 organizations, achieved a 45% referral rate, and reached 22 counties.
