How I want to make an Impact

Firstly, I making an impact by carrying out an assessment of community issues using methods like the community scorecards, in a bid to form informed interventions that are as relevant as they can be sustainable. 

Secondly, I will harness the full extent of my youth networks to create a core working team that will volunteer with me in carrying out initiatives and projects. 

Thirdly, I will ensure that relevant stakeholders are involved in my processes. That way, they can own these initiatives and ensure it is scaled and sustained. 

Summarily, I believe that youth, though be a fragmented percentage of the global population today, are a hundred percent of the world's future. To that effect, they will be at the core of and targets, and I will use the tools of the century to meet them where they are. Both traditional and social media.
