Empower the youth, impact the world.
We mentor, train and support young people, one youth at a time.
Young people are the key actors in building Kenya
Youth Concern is a non-profit company that helps young people find self-awareness, skills and purpose, so untapped potential becomes real opportunity.
Through mentorship, training and partnerships, we walk with young people from the slum, the street and the classroom.

HoodieUmbrellaTumblersWater bottlesPolo shirtsCapsOur approach: mentor, train, partner
Three things drive everything we do, from a Monday meal in Roysambu to a talk in a school hall.
Mentor
One-to-one and group mentorship, faith, counseling and psychosocial support that helps young people know who they are.
Train
Life skills, psycho-education in schools, TVET links and work tools so young people can earn and stand on their own.
Partner
Churches, businesses, schools and donors walk with us, because no one changes a nation alone.
Why youth?
Young people are Kenya's greatest resource, yet many face drugs, hopelessness, lack of school fees, life on the streets and too little guidance. With the right mentor, training and a second chance, the same young people become leaders, builders and employers.
Youth Concern exists to make that possible, one life at a time.
I am a Friend of Youth Concern
