“Our research shows that 80% of ni-Vanuatu youth, who are YCV participants never completed formal education, 80% have never been employed. These young people strive with passion to demonstrate their motivation to begin reaching for their true potential. Each participant changed who they are for the better and blossomed into productive leaders in their community.”

The plan captures the activities YCV is implementing this year under the Enhancing Youth Employment and Leadership (EYEL) Project.
