Our Approach
How We Do It
Young people are not just beneficiaries of our work. They are co-creators, decision-makers, and leaders at every stage, from design to implementation and accountability.
Youth-led & Youth-focused Research
We do youth-led, youth-focused research by involving young people as co-researchers so they help define the questions, shape the tools, collect insights, and interpret findings in ways that reflect real lived experiences. Our research prioritizes ethical, safe, and inclusive methods, and turns evidence into action by sharing results back with communities and decision-makers to improve services, policies, and opportunities.
SBCC, Advocacy & Social Accountability
We use strategic communications to shift norms, strengthen public awareness, and move people from information to action through Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) that is youth-friendly, culturally grounded, and delivered through the channels young people use most. We amplify advocacy by translating evidence and lived experiences into clear messages for policy influence.
Training & Facilitation
We build capacity by equipping young people and youth-led organizations with the knowledge, practical skills, and mentorship needed to design, lead, and sustain high-impact initiatives in their communities. This includes structured trainings, coaching, peer learning, and toolkits that strengthen leadership, research and data use, safeguarding, project management, strategic communications, advocacy, and partnership development.
