What is Empowerment?

Empowerment manifests itself in many different ways. From piloting the first level of the Youth Empowerment course, it is clear that a certain degree of empowerment has already been achieved by many of the youth. Not only have they voluntarily returned each week and stayed involved in a process of self-discovery, but some have expressed a desire to facilitate the course themselves!

Already in Level 2 of the programme, the youth have become involved in acts of service by offering Tranquillity Zones to their peers and families. In the months after the programme, the continued involvement of these youth in service activities will be the key evaluation criteria.
