youth Empowerment

Youth empowerment is a process where children and young people are encouraged to take charge of their lives. They do this by addressing their situation and then take action in order to improve their access to resources and transform their consciousness through their beliefs, values, and attitudes. [1] Youth empowerment aims to improve quality of life. Youth empowerment is achieved through participation in youth empowerment programs. However scholars argue that children’s rights implementation should go beyond learning about formal rights and procedures to give birth to a concrete experience of rights. [2] There are numerous models that youth empowerment programs use that help youth achieve empowerment. A variety of youth empowerment initiatives are underway around the world. These programs can be through non-profit organizations, government organizations, schools or private organizations.
Youth empowerment is different than youth development because development is centered on developing individuals, while empowerment is focused on creating greater community change relies on the development of individual capacity. [3]
Empowerment movements, including youth empowerment, originate, gain momentum, become viable, and become institutionalized. [1] Youth empowerment is often addressed as a gateway to
intergenerational equity, civic engagement and
democracy building. Activities may focus on youth-led media , youth rights , youth councils , youth
activism , youth involvement in community decision-making, [4] and other methods.

I didn’t know where I was going, I just knew I was going south. I figured whatever it was would go away soon enough, so I did nothing. It didn’t go away. I spent the bulk of my days lying in bed until my mattress became indented in the center. I soundtracked this indolence with playlist chalked full of Kid Cudi and Elliot Smith dirges. I smoked bunk weed and binge-watched TV series’ multiple times over instead of honoring social engagements. I stuffed myself with high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients with scientific names and questionable nutritional value. I hid out in figurative closets, dimly lit dive bars and under unwashed duvet covers. I masturbated like I was sponsored. I felt myself getting irritated and rustled easily. I felt like my friends were a cause of my mindset ...

The Snows, the Sun, the Rain and the Dews have raised their actions accordingly and it has been the alarm that wakes us up in the morning, the nightmare and the dreams in everyday’s part. Though their hour has come and gone which have created a space and left a worse wound in the heart of men. Our heroes past have created great path which is undeniable. The beloved father, the gifted mother, the meek son, the visionary daughter, unquantifiable grandmother, grandfather peacemaker and more of them; they may be born great or born to be great.
