MIFACIG youth empowerment volunteer program is designed to inspire and make proactive the youth of Cameroon by integrating them in empowerment causes, as well as teaching them life skills. As a volunteer may help in many ways. You may conduct workshops that give the youths valuable vocational skills such as career orientation, drug abuse, HIV/AIDS ,information technology and games. Another option you will have will be to hold sessions on group dynamics and effective communication. If you feel you are not fit to instruct the youth on the above-mentioned matters, then you may also just set up discussions on issues of child and women’s rights. This way, you will raise awareness among the young, adults, and possibly even motivate them or stir them enough to turn their words into actions in the near future.
