Yearn- youth empowerment and resource network is an educational, youth led empowerment organisation that is committed towards empowering youths through educational programmes, workshops, discussions and debates that will help uplift the resourcefulness of the youth by providing opportunities, and resources for their development. Youth are world's greatest untapped resource. Half the world's population is under the age 28. In the developing world, where 80% of young people live, they constitute up to 70% of a nation's population. We believe that youth ain't a burden, but a resource!
Youth disproportionately feel the effects of global issues. Youth unemployment is running av almost 40%, tens of millions of children work, exploited by the global economy in the poorest parts of the world. Youth need to be empowered so they know they can make a difference.

I really think it's high time youth take the bull by it's horns. By this i mean it is up to the youth to take up initiatives, ventures and acts to change their lot. In more occasions than one, the youth have put their hope in their leaders to provide for their every whim forgetting that all the empty promises heard from the leaders-politicians are just but for political mileage. We hope that by providing a platform for the youths to get vital information will help empower them, transform their lives and ultimately help in stumping-out poverty among them.
