Our non-formal education (NFE) programmes are all about creating positive pathways and opportunities for young people outside of formal learning spaces.
Youth Connect is our global youth leadership programme which supports young people to develop the skills, inspiration and connections to tackle critical socio-economic challenges such as youth unemployment, inequality, and social cohesion by building young people’s capabilities and leadership potential.
Through our initiatives, we aim to empower young people across Jordan aged 18-35 years to become confident, inclusive, and strategic leaders of change in their communities.
In Jordan, Youth Connect focuses on strengthening youth engagement at the local level by equipping young women and men — particularly those from marginalised backgrounds — with the skills, agency, and networks needed to influence decisions and lead collective action. Through inclusive and context-sensitive approaches, the programme fosters civic participation, gender equality, and collaborative problem-solving.
Youth Connect Jordan Objectives:
- Equip young people with leadership skills, values, and principles that support inclusive, rights-informed engagement around community priorities.
- Enhance youth resilience and capacity to address local challenges by collaborating with diverse stakeholders, including civil society and government actors.
- Promote meaningful youth participation in civic spaces — both offline and online — and strengthen their ability to make sense of and contribute to the digital sphere.
- Facilitate the creation of local, national, and regional youth networks that support peer learning, collective action, and long-term collaboration.
- Build strategic partnerships with decision-makers and community actors to promote inclusive leadership and sustainable development.
