Principal aim of the Junior Youth Empowerment Programme

The principal aim of a Junior Youth Empowerment Programme (JYEP) is to empower the young people in the age group of 12 to 15 to understand the purpose of life, construct a conceptual framework for positive social action and to become conscious participants in the process of their own growth and development and that of their peer and friends.

Youth are encouraged to develop a strong sense of purpose, empowering their own transformation and leading them to contribute to the advancement of society. Young people’s spiritual capacity, the basis for their own happiness and sense of well-being, is a powerful force for social change.
