We are taking on youth unemployment, mental health & the skills gap by pioneering new ways to prepare, support and empower young people in Africa. Hire the Youth helps young people aged 15-30 who are in/out of school, unemployed or underemployed overcome the barriers to employment through strategic partnerships, workshops, and campaigns. Our community-building approach is focused on addressing overlooked factors in young people’s career development: youth unemployment, mental health & the skills gap. Young people are held back from making the most of their lives in lots of different ways. This contributes to society-wide issues like poor social inclusion, high unemployment rates, mental health issues, and inadequate skills. Our mission is to support and empower young people through awareness by building strong and resourceful safe spaces together.
