Youth empowerment is the process of equipping young people with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to take charge of their lives and make positive choices. It involves providing opportunities for young people to develop their potential, assert their rights, and engage actively in their communities. This can include fostering leadership skills, encouraging critical thinking, promoting self-expression, and providing access to resources and education.
