More about Youth Empowerment and Employability through Agribusiness
SEP uses football to mobilize, engage, and educate youth on life skills, health issues, and a wide variety of other topics. Football is the channel that we use to deliver key messages to the youths in our community. Through the power of “developmental football,” SEP’s specially trained coaches provide not only fun, but important life skills to develop the next generation of community leaders.
SEP’s unique Youth Football Program leverages the power of football as a tool to:
• Teach life skills through games and integrated messaging in areas such as HIV/AIDS prevention, health and sanitation, nutrition, reproductive health, peace building, and substance abuse
• Engage youth in healthy, fun social outlets
• Improve gender equality
• Mobilize youth and the community at large
• Develop youth leadership through training in coaching, refereeing and tournament management. These are carried out through Football 3 concept and Premier Skills methodology.
