Improving Access to Opportunities and Resources for Rural Youth in Colombia
Increasingly, youth in Colombia face challenges that force moves from rural to urban areas. Lean about how YouthLead promotes change.
About the Event
An increasing number of youth in Colombia are forced to migrate from rural areas to urban cities/towns to access employment and educational opportunities. These relocations can have negative economic and social impacts on regions. YouthLead is a crucial platform that provides a centralized place online for youth to access opportunities and resources. In this webinar, participants will learn about the current challenges facing rural youth in Colombia, and how YouthLead promotes youth participation, provides space for likeminded young people to connect, and offers access to helpful resources and opportunities to advance their skills.

About the YouthPower2: Learning and Evaluation
YP2LE brings the Youth in Development Policy to life by enabling investments in PYD research and evaluation within and across multiple sectors, including health, education, agriculture/food security, economic opportunity, peace and security, democracy, and human rights and governance. YP2LE activities are designed to examine the impact of cross-sectoral youth programming, in collaboration with USAID, YouthPower implementing partners, PYD researchers, youth-led and youth-serving organizations, individual young change-makers, and other relevant stakeholders. The goal of these activities is to give practitioners the information, tools, and resources they need to develop high-quality, impactful, and sustainable youth programs, allowing empowered youth, working with supportive adults, to create sustainable change in individuals and systems through a four-pronged approach. www.youthpower.org
