MISSION

Youth For Kenya envisions a future in which youth in Kenya will have a direct say on the policies being implemented within their communities. As a youth-driven and youth-led organization, YFK centers youth within the dialogue that shapes their future. Politicians and organizations can work with YFK to better understand not only issues important to youth, but to also include youth in discussions about their own future. Youth leaders around the country can join YFK and amplify attention to issues they are passionate about. When youth are joined together, they form a powerful political and societal force - it is this vision of the future that Youth For Kenya reaches for.

YOUTH 4 KENYA Association is working towards creating platforms and participation of young people in political decision-making and leadership.

This can include initiatives such as increasing the representation of young people in government, providing training and resources for young people to become politically active, and creating opportunities for young people to engage in policy development and advocacy.
