What we do

 A Positive Youth Development approach takes us from conversations centered on fixing what is wrong to conversations that are more hopeful and focused on building on the good that is already present.The primary focus of our interventions for young people facing uneven odds is, therefore, not preventing or ameliorating dysfunction but promoting positive functioning. Fixing happens best through the development of strengths; development happens best through participation in causes bigger than oneself. With support and guidance from caring adults, all youth can be healthy, happy, thriving, and make positive contributions to their families, schools, and communities. Our emphasis is on harnessing young people’s resilience, positive energy, and initiative rather than emphasizing their problems and /perceived deficiencies. Building character strengths such as social intelligence, morality, self-control, and spirituality is one of the most frequent goals of our youth development programmes. Problems are resolved as young people build on their strengths.
