Description:
This volunteer sending project supports 526 volunteer assignments. The project contributes to improve economic and social well-being of beneficiaries in six developing countries. The project aims to increase the capacity of local partner organizations to deliver innovative, sustainable, gender responsive livelihood programming for young women and men through volunteer placements and the co-implementation of youth-focused Innovation HUBs. HUBs are adaptive, accessible, youth-friendly spaces that bring together the training, support services, access to capital, networks and technology young people need to access sustainable livelihoods. The HUBs also serves as a center for outreach, community engagement, supporting networks and provides services to a broader network of youth with limited access to the HUB.
The project brings together organizations from the public, private and civil society sectors to create a HUB network at each HUB. This network provides an enabling environment for youth to: better understand the needs of the private sector in relation to skills for employment; increase awareness of potential market opportunities for entrepreneurship; and create an interface through which young people can influence and inform the development of youth products and services resulting in more relevant products and services for young people.
