Youth Empowerment
Empowers young people through skills training, leadership, and economic opportunities.
WCCO recognizes youth as the driving force behind Somalia's sustainable development and peacebuilding. Through this program, we equip young men and women with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities they need to become active contributors to their communities.
Our youth empowerment program includes
Vocational skills training
for unemployed and underemployed youth
Entrepreneurship & small grants support
to help young people start and grow businesses
Leadership & civic engagement programs
that build confidence and community participation
Youth-led community development initiatives
that give young people a direct voice in shaping local priorities
By investing in youth, WCCO aims to reduce unemployment, discourage recruitment into violence and extremism, and build a generation of resilient, capable leaders who can drive lasting change across Somalia.
